[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - trafficability

[David Bannon]

This could be a very useful tag - I'm particularly interested in
unsealed and 4x4 roads/tracks, sure you have seen the recent discussion.
We have been trying to massage existing tags for the purpose.

The problem as I see it is that with a wealth of tags everyone chooses
to use different ones. And its sort of becoming a write only memory
situation, we all put the data in but as its so diverse, one one ever
wants to take it out and use it.

We already have - surface=, smoothness=, tracktype=, 4wd_only=.

Now, please don't accuse be of tagging for rendering, boo, hiss ! But
those tags are already used, in huge numbers.

Now, BGNO, if trafficability is going to fly, we'll need a better view
of the possible values, thoughts ?
