[OSM-talk] highway=residential for rural ways?

If they're a residential street, residential.
If they're a service road (drive, road into industrial estate), service.
All other minor roads would be unclassified. These could be country lanes 
linking villages, or dead-end country lanes leading to a farm, country 
park, etc.

I can't think of any examples not covered under this scheme.
