For 1 - seriously, you do. In the UK we don't have some roads tagged "A3400"<br>
and others tagged "A-3400" and others tagged "CNSE" (Chipping Norton<br>
Stratford Expressway, _obviously_): they're all tagged a la "A3400". Our<br>
roads are coherently classified according to the UK highway system, even<br>
though it might seem counterintuitive (we tag non-primary A roads as<br>
"highway=primary" - well, so what). As a result our map looks lovely. If you<br>
get your shit together than your map will look lovely too.<br>

First we even have to agree on how it *should* be in the US. There were some arguments on one of the lists, but like everything else, I don't think it's settled. Now that we have relations, etc, the single agreed-on style can be applied later with a bot after we decide how they should be ref'd or named in the relation. <br>
