I don't get you here. What do you mean by "really definitive"? By
August 2009 we had 36770 occurencies of sac_scale in our database [1]
Probably in the meantime it became even more. AFAIK it is the best
"dedicated" hiking tag. Smoothness is used for different ways and
streets as well and is often critisized for not beeing "objective" or
well defined.
