I agree there is some fuzzyness between unclassified, track, footway, cycleway 
and path. But this fuzzyness cannot be removed just by changing the JOSM 
presets.

I better should resist to abuse my dictatorship for tagging politics ;-) . 
Anyway, I have removed motorcar from the list of options, as tagwatch does not 
show significant use (10 times motorcar=no in Europe). If the removal triggers 
some complaints, I'll reenable it.

HTH,
