[HOT] landuse=residential and routing problems

[john whelan]

I do a lot of validation and in my opinion each settlement should have at
least one highway that connects to the outside world.  That way its
routable.  I might not draw in every path or track and small tracks leading
only to fields or the river don't really add a lot of value.

When traveling to a settlement beyond the larger settlement you've drawn in
people will pass through the village and the path they follow ie between
huts should be mapped.  Most traffic will be foot, donkey or motorcycle so
a highway=path is acceptable.
