Just goes to show the folly of making global tag changes in areas you don't
know - a UK mapper replacing highway=unsurfaced according to his/her own
understanding would foul up Australia just as an Australian mapper would
foul up the UK.

FWIW I've now replaced several occurrences of highway=unsurfaced in the UK
(thanks to Steve's very timely rendering), starting in areas I know
personally (West Oxfordshire and Rutland), and not a single one would be
described as a road in the UK.

cheers
Richard
