[Tagging] tagging "loose" paving stones

I'm not sure I'm understanding the differences between surface=sett and
surface=paved or if what I'm trying to map is covered by either. Where I
live, there are some streets that are paved, but the stones aren't set
firmly, so they wobble a bit when you drive/ cycle over them. It is
perfectly safe, but it allows rainwater to drain quicker, at least I
think that is the reason for this type of paving. It sounds a bit like a
xylophone (well, lithophone, I guess), when going over them.
Considering climate change and the higher likelihood of flooding etc, it
would be important to map the difference between paved streets that
don't allow for quick drainage and these loosely paved streets. There is
probably some technical term for it.
So, in short: Do we have a tagging scheme for those or not?
