I ended up reverting the sections on residential/unclassified for the same

The problem is some/all routing software doesn't treat residential as through
roads, but do treat unclassified as through roads.
Effectively highway=residential means highway=[residential|unclassified] and
access=destination.
I realise we're not supposed to tag for the renderer, but this isn't quite the
same thing, as they've coded to a specific definition of
residential/unclassified that they interrupted it as. We can either align
ourselves with this definition or have routing go screwy on us.
