I agree with this summary. I found the arguments above convincing. (In
case anyone thinks these tagging  discussions never actually change
anyone's mind).

We would be performing a service if we document a standard set of
attributes for each tag at the wiki level. For surface=*, it looks
like the only attribute we've uncovered so far is that binary
distinction, but for other tags, maybe other things will emerge.
