That addition from Mateusz seems reasonable to me - he's just alerting
people to how things might get mapped, and how to make things clearer.
Also "may still be useful" is not telling people to add e.g.
"motor_vehicle=yes" to all primary roads (something unlikely to be useful).

It doesn't matter what you think J Random Mapper _should_ do; what they
_actually_ do is what is important (and I'm someone who uses
access=unknown more than most).
