[Tagging] implied surface values?

[Florimond Berthoux]

As a cyclist living in city with too many road with (bad) setts I’m happy
to know when a road is asphalt or not.

@Volker, wiki says that only trunk and motorway imply paved, check their
pages.

Though like I already said, implying tags is bad because it let data reader
guess what you think is implying which differ from people and location.
Guessing leads to errors, where as when there is tag the reality is stated.
