That's is the rule-of-thumb which I use too. My exception to date is when I surveyed a named road where part of it is private, wide and in good nick. Then I thought highway=unclassified and access=private was most appropriate: http://www.osm.org/?lat=-35.14265&lon=148.92249&zoom=15 That has stopped my Garmin from suggesting it as a route, even though it's a lot shorter than the 100% public road alternatives.
