Thanks for your support Andrew and Seb. I have updated the section on the guidelines page and also included a section supporting the use of detailed tags rather than just paved and unpaved. I added an extra sentence too to highlight that some of the detailed tags, eg gravel, don’t have the same meaning as in popular use in Australia so mappers should study the tag descriptions carefully. Hopefully this covers all the suggestions that readers on the forum page raised. Please further refine the new guideline as you all see fit. Best wishes, and happy mapping, Ian
