What purpose do the _link tags serve other than rendering? If there's a serious reason for tag-to-higher then we can add an additional tag so people can record the status of what it links to (and then we can render it any way we like). But I can't think of a sensible reason for recording/using the higher status, except for motorways, so it just seems like it's been copied from motorway_link without thinking it through, is producing unintended results, and is therefore an error that needs to be corrected. If people have done that thinking through, and there's a genuine reason for tag-to-higher for non-motorway roads, then I'd love to hear about it. All the reaction so far seems to be a complaint about how I did it, rather than the substance of the matter. Andy's made one of the few moderately serious points: it's confusing to treat them differently to motorway links. Not exactly a clincher, if it's wrong for other reasons.
