I've also thought that it would be nice to have a tag like admin_level
(perhaps the admin_level tag itself) on relations to indicate which level
of government is responsible for maintaining the road.  With that, data
consumers could have a generic tag to get a more universal idea of what
sort of road it is, but could still check the network tag for the
specifics.
