For information, that proposition was created a few month after the
smoothness acceptation to avoid using "subjective sounding words" like
very_bad/bad/good :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/usability
But wasn't accepted as it didn't change the core subjectivity of the
proposal. But I do personnaly still prefer scale numbers (it's easier to
remember that 3 is lower than 4) than remembering intermediate is better
than good

no, because the smoothness tag isn't about smoothness of the surface

yes, but no need to re-invent the wheel,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:smoothness allready lists
thin_rollers / high_clearance / specialized_off_road_wheels as alternatives
