OK, you're totally right at this, it seems difficult to define structure of 
road surfaces - several proposals in the wiki exist, but none seems to have 
seen broad use in actual mapping - in short, I do'nt have a solution.
But the need for some reliable, robust and versatile surface tagging method 
seems to be there, as there are ~3 proposals in the wiki to renew/extend 
surface tags.
And I really do think its better to do this now than to re-tag specific 
vehicle-based tags in the future.
