A track does have a different function, it can handle a 2 track
vehicle, a path can't.<br>
<br>
If functional is sacrosanct, why do we have motorway? A motorway
could just be a trunk or primary with extra tags denoting limited
access.<br>

<div class="gmail_quote">Right, there is nothing that says that
a track cannot be used for additional purposes, only that its
primary function is agricultural or forestry.<br>

<div class="gmail_quote">1) So we are getting away from the
whole notion of "functional classification"? highway=track
will only be a proxy for some physical/legal access
characteristics?</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">2) If we are going to use this
definition I would propose stronger language than "often
better tagged", perhaps "should almost always be tagged."<br>
