I'm sure the hierarchy trunk/primary/secondary/tertiary/<something_else>/residential with a side of service types is general enough that all countries can map their own system to it. I feel no need to force any country's own system upon any other country, or to make it the same all over the world.
If mapping tools map "dunno" to highway=road and <something_else> to highway=unclassified, I would applaud that. If renderers would consider mapping quaternary same as unclassified, I would applaud that. If this list could reach consensus for this preferred tagging and some commitment to getting it straight in a few OSM-significant countries, I'm sure renderers, mapping tools and checking tools will consider implementing it.
