I feel that if we can get those top levels sorted out then the lower levels will begin to make a lot more sense.

I'm kinda liking the idea of numeric highway=* values replacing
nonnumeric values, and just adding motorway=yes, expressway=yes,
cycleway=yes, footway=yes etc to cover the specialized cases.  That
might be a worthwhile thing to pursue globally.
