There are tracks which probably aren't rated but if they were would be Class 6 that I'd be happy to go on for an afternoon walk by myself, and there are Class 4 tracks that I would never consider going on without preparation and other people.

This is the problem with using broad, subjective tags. I personally
don't think it's worth spending time trying to come up with a better
way to describe these concepts than the Australian Standard... :P But
you're right, for un-rated tracks it would be nice to be able to tag
something - I would suggest either:

class:as2156=unrated (if unrated tracks are always more difficult), and/or
class:as2156:equivalent=[1-6], or
class:as2156=[1-6] + source:class:as2156=estimate.

I think class:as2156=[1-6]. It should not be "track", because we are
not saying, e.g. "the track is 3", but rather "the class is 3".
