Unclassified means it isn't classified with an A or B designation. I tend to 
tag tracks as highway=unsurfaced. This isn't on the Map Features (maybe it 
could be?) but there needs to be something intermediate between 
'unclassified' (country lanes or through, unclassified roads in towns and 
cities) and 'footway/bridleway' to represent wide, unsurfaced tracks (such as 
those in the New Forest or 'byways')
