Now I feel even more confused! Here are some roads I have in mind:

- A minor country road (i.e. not an A/B road)
- A small, non-residential road in an urban area (e.g. for businesses)

I want both to appear when the data is rendered. At the moment I'm tagging 
them as highway=unclassified... is that right? OJW's wiki page has the first 
example as highway=minor... is that deprecated?

Regards,
Tom
