[OSM-talk] unpaved residential

[Lukasz Stelmach]

Greetings All.

I've just mapped a little bit at the coutrysied where most roads are 
unpaved. I find current description at the Map_Features wiki page 
quite confusing.

1. why there is (i'll answer it in a moment) unsurfaced highway 
while in practice every highway can have surface=unpaved?
2. unsurfaced is rendered differently (this is the answer) than e.g. 
unpaved residential. why?
3. does tracktype apply to tracks only or any highway?

For examples look here:

"Ogrodowa" street was unsurfaced up until today when I learnt that 
it has a name. I decided to add its name and change its type to 
residential because if a street has a name then it means a little 
bit more and is governed by a local authority somehow better then 
unclassified roads.

I haven't seen mapnik output yet, just osmarender.
