[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - value 'basic_network' - cycle_network?

[Brian M. Sperlongano]

So is "basic" in this case of bwn/bcn supposed to mean "more local than
local"?  Or are we just overloading the meaning of this tag?  Or are we
really struggling with tagging to categorize a "recreational" versus
"commuter" cycleway?  This "basic network" still sounds very much like a
local cycle network and I don't really understand what "basic" brings to
the table that "local" doesn't.  The recreational versus commuter aspect
seems like an orthogonal concern.
