Well I wanted to display different types of roads and paths on Freemap 
straight away so I decided to annotate the segments with the keys/values. 
Have also spent much of the last two years collecting footpath/bridleway data 
and didn't want to lose that info when I put it into OSM....

When streets are done I'm sure I can do an automated conversion so that the 
street takes the type of all the segments making up the street.
