+1 to all this. I'd love to have a usable tag, but for simple issues
of physics, the best/worst smoothness depends on your mode of
transport, your skill, and the weather conditions. It's not even a
linear scale (think grip vs comfort, maneuverability, etc). As for the
wiki's "usable by" metric, I've inline-skated on much rougher surfaces
than the photos suggest... That doesn't mean I liked it.
