I was just trying to get all the info in there without having to resort to
extensions. But I see your point, it is a bit messy mixing XML and non-XML
data, and it might be that someone might wish to have a full textual
description of a street which would go in the <desc> tag. I suppose it's a
question of what's conceptually messier.... storing data in a non-XML format
within an XML file, or using extensions.

How about (to cut down on file size...)
<trk>
<number>50521</number>
<name>Lodge Road</name>
<extensions>
<permissions foot="yes" horse="yes" car="yes"/>
<class>secondary</class>
</extensions>
