following myself up, which some people tell me is bad form...

my work on track documentation suggests a need for more than
just start_date and end_date; tracks drift in and out of operation
over time and end up with multiple start/stop dates. on top of
that, there are tracks that were clay then paved or paved then
clay, and in one supremely novel case, there is an inactive
track not far from where i live that had pavement in the corners
and clay on the straights for its first year of operation (not enough
money to pay for pavement all the way around.)

right now i don't really know how to model something like that
in OSM terms.
