Street does not seem a very good substitution, roads are only called streets in built up areas, where names are easily found. In the countryside, where names are harder to find, they are just roads. Where available the reference is most useful.

The encoding was introduced (so far just in the bike profile) so that front-ends can translate way types.

I guess I should replace them (and translate) with something meaningful for the user. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it
