If you know the actual incline you can tag it with its value. If you have to estimate it anyway then a hard definition on what is steep is not worth that much anymore. It is a subjective classification - not more and not less. One could think it implies a "FIXME: check for actual value". > What I mean to say is, unless you can think of a better way to tag > incline=* on nodes, we should encourage the use of incline=* for this > purpose (as opposed to some other tag like inclination=* or > steepness=*, or node_incline=* etc., which would just be silly). I would say all the incline tags should be moved to the ways.
