Well, "highway=road" means "road without classification" while 
"highway=unclassified" is an actual classification (yes, confusing) and 
actually means "minor roads in the public road network which are not 
residential and of a lower classification than tertiary".

That's why I proposed highway=road as it basically means "unknown 
classification". A lot of those I have encountered are better tagged as 
tracks than either residential or unclassified, but that needs review of 
people actually looking at some local info.
