in US usage, dirt is considered as different from gravel; i don't see the
confusion there. i'll grant that clay could be added to the list; we don't
tend to have clay surfaced roads in the northeast so much, but in large
parts of the southeast, it could make a difference.
but i seem to recall that we have had a discussion like this recently that
was ultimately unproductive. i would really would hope that we can
avoid a similarly protracted and unsuccessful discussion this time around.
i don't really understand the problem with using dirt as a value, i think
that it's pretty clear.
