I guess that is why I like the use of tracktype=, its a hierarchical
tag, its easy for a router to decide to show (eg) grade1 through to
grade3 roads and not offer grade4 and grade5. A user can switch their
router to what ever level of 'braveness' that they feel.

I think the values possible under surface= are less clear, is =dirt
better than =earth ?  Badly maintained =compacted can be far worse than
=dirt sometimes, pot holes (as we call there here) can be unexpected and
dangerous at speed. There are so many legal values ....
