But it doesn't mean that in the UK.  It means "in the national road
system, with a number, but not A B or C".  So it really is a higher
class than a road which is not ABC and is not unclassified, at least as
I understand it and observed it.

In OSM we use words by their OSM defintions, not what they ought to mean
in English!
