    Forget the "smoothness" tag
    please. We might replace it by the 4wd tag (but it's only a partial
    solution) or another passable tag (for city car, 4wd, mtb, etc)


I don't think smoothness should be forgotten, it should just have better values. Something like smoothness=tractor/4wd/mountain_bike/city_car/road_bike/roller_blades


For ways used by mountain bikers, mtb:scale might be better:

http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:mtb:scale

It's a far better thought-ought scheme (by analogy with sac_scale) and the images used reflect the descriptions. For example, I used to live along something similar to http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/File:Mountain-track1.jpg and it was regularly used by all sorts of wheeled vehicles, not just the "Car with high clearance, light-duty off road vehicles" suggested on the "smoothness" page.

An example that I did (see the "No tracktype would be appropriate" section at the eastern end) is Long Causeway near Sheffield:
