Introduction:
This proposal should improve the current usage of the surface=*-key.
It is needed because surface is currently a mix of fastness and material
types.
The fastness should go to surface:paved=* and the materials should go to
surface:material=*.
With surface:condition=* we are trying to describe the status of the
surface with less subjective values than smoothness=* does.
It should extract the best of
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:surface ,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/surface_values
and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/more_surface_values
.
If it gets widely used by the community it could later replace things
like
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Smoothness and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/grade1-5.
surface:paved=* and surface:material=* can be filled by values currently
used in surface=*.
Also see the already used keys surface_material and surface_state on
tagwatch!
