[Talk-ca] Proposed changes to road classification and related stuff

[john whelan]

I suspect it all stems from the roots of OSM.  A UK motorway is quite
different to a Canadian one and there has been lots of discussion about
classification of primary, motorway, trunk etc. in various countries.

Personally I quite like the existing tagging and don't really see the need
to retag everything.

It isn't clear to me what the advantage of retagging everything is.

You loose the sense of local ownership if you move to standardised tagging
and in this case where it is not black and white I fail to see any
advantage.
