The sense I get from the discussion below is you should do this only
on a country-by-country basis. Ask the US mappers what to replace it
with for the US. Then for the UK...Australia...etc.

If you do a mass change, I think highway=road, surface=unsurfaced
would be the most conservative approach. (But also of little value.)
