3) move icon a bit if it would collide with others
4) replace an already placed icon with a collection icon when there is another one to be shown right there
- unlikely to implement this, as it is better done as a (zoom dependent) pre-processing step before mapnik
5) <strike>push lines apart so that there is a minimum distance between them</strike> (nearly done)

9) stronger coupling between icon and text (maybe similar to the ShieldSymbolizer?) so that manual text dy tweaking is not required anymore (want to be able to say: "place this icon in size 20x20 and put the text in size 12pt five pixels below it") Idea: “TownSymbolizer”.
10) collapsing of little small areas with the same tags into a single big one (for e.g. a big forest), so that e.g. the name is drawn only once
- unlikely to implement this, as it is better done as a (zoom dependent) pre-processing step before mapnik
11) be able to suppress automatic text rotation (per style or layer) - contour lines should always be displayed so that the base line of the text points to the lower ground
