Hi, Martin,

Sorry that I have not mentioned that the proposal isn't mine (I am
nothing here but a translator) and I am not really eager to discuss
it. So perhaps it would be better if the discussion took place at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Surface:all_weather.
Thank you.
