This last point is a bit difficult to understand for me. Over here in Germany, nobody would draw their motorways in blue or their trunk roads in green, ever. But to my knowledge, no mapper as ever reacted by tagging his motorways "secondary" only to get the "right" colour! We have often said that providing *maps* is not our main business - collecting data is. We only do maps to show off what we have. So I'd agree with those who say why not let the Americans, and anyone else who is unhappy, set up their own tile server? We'll surely do that for Germany sooner or later, too.
