[OSM-talk] Rendering of tracktype

[Tomáš Tichý]

I´d like to point up proposal of new smoothness tag, which seems to
solve the problems with tracktype and surface tags.

It would be IMHO great solution for the track rendering problem,
rendering could be also altered for special maps like cycle map or
skate map, because the proposal clearly defines usability of the
track. The same schema could be also used for rendering footways,
cycleways and paths, with diferrent color.

Proposal of track surface rendering:
excelent  - single solid line, thick
goog - single solid line, thin
intermediate - dashed line with longer dashes
bad - dashed line with shorter dashes
horrible - dotted line
impassable - dotted line with greater spaces between dots

This rendering schema could be also used for tracktype values till the
smoothness tag will be in broader usage.
