1) it could be repaved in meantime and actual surface be now different

2) it would require extra effort to support this
(about one day of work in total + increased maintenance effort)

3) it would be more confusing to user to have several different interfaces
depending something unclear to user, especially given that it could in
meantime changed to surface=asphalt (or badly tagged in the first place)
