Do "data modelling perspectives" normally deal with folksonomies
though? By its very nature, the data entered by OSM editors is far
more susceptible to inconsistency than, say, a corporate database.

Also, the errors you're talking about (ie, paved=yes, surface=grass)
are perfectly resolvable: define a priority. If surface=grass doesn't
agree with paved=yes, then ignore it. (Or vice versa).
