This (surface=) was the topic for a long discussion last year. As you
say, mappers seem to want to put more and more detail into the database.
Its really a case of "write only memory" - you can put it in but its
unlikely it will be used as its just too fine grained :-) .

Can I be the first to invent a term, "mapping for mapper" and suggest
its possibly just as dangerous as mapping for renderer  (when taken
beyond a reasonable point). We really need to think of how the data we
put in can be used.

I have only tagged surface=unpaved as the (unpaved) roads I like to map
will have a ranges of surfaces and its not practical to tag every
100meter segment differently. I do know its different elsewhere.
