TBH I'd prefer highway=unsurfaced kept in - I use it extensively. Even 
better though - and this is my own high horse :-) - we really need to sort 
out "highway" for non-roads which at the moment is a mixture of physical 
characteristics (track) and legal rights (bridleway). My own feeling - 
particularly with non-roads -  is that "highway" should be used to 
describe the physical characteristics of the way (path, track, 
narrow_path, gravel_track etc) and use the foot/horse/bicycle/motorcar 
tags to explicitly define the conditions.
