Sorry, I should have spelt that bit out. I'm assuming the winter road consists of many segments, which will be of different combinations: some will be "highway=track", some may be nothing (ie, outside winter, there's really nothing worth noting), some may be "highway=road, surface=unpaved". Route relations are good for this kind of situation too. > We use secondary/tertiary/unclassified tags for them, according to their > importance.

IMHO "don't map for the renderer" does more harm than mapping for specific rendererers ever did.
