Clearly the change that was made was disruptive and changes the meaning of the 80,000 or so surface=cobblestone tags already in existence. I have thus changed the definition back and commented out surface=sett for the moment.
Now, some issues with introducing sett: 1) No one knows what "sett" means. 2) The distinction is probably not important to most people. 3) There is far more sett than true cobblestone in the world. 4) We can't introduce a distinction by splitting an existing tag this way. Clearly surface=cobblestone means "Cobblestone or sett". There are too many instances to change that. So, whoever really wants to introduce this distinction is going to have to find another way, perhaps "surface=cobblestone, cobblestone=sett".
