Just a thought here, we'd really like "the renderers" to show
unpaved/unsealed/whatever roads differently from sealed ones. In
particular, the mapnik rendered slippery map on the OSM website....
They show little interest I must admit but will show even less if we
point to a whole range of surface= tags that need that treatment. So
might be better agreeing on one term rather than being very specific and
saying 'dirt', 'gravel' etc. As I have mentioned before, this is a road
safety issue as much as a presentation one.
I like the idea of 'unpaved', it gets heaps of use internationally and I
should update the mapnik request accordingly...

So - yes, go ahead. :)

Hi,
I know we had some discussion over 4wd/dirt road tagging.
This ended up in the wiki as a recommendation to use
surface=unsealed
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/surface=unsealed
I really can't see a significant reason here not to stick with
surface=unpaved
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/surface=unpaved
When it is so much more likely to used, and therefore so much more likely to
be rendered, navigated, etc. There are the other surface=* tags that can be
used if more specific information is available, but surface=unsealed is
obscure to no benefit IMO.
If there are no objections, I'll update the wiki.
Thanks,
Ian.
