Hi all,

There seems to be 2 diffenrent classification methods out there:

I found this post about classification,

classification/11640
which mentions, that the

This is validated by this voting process (more or less):

This ist marked as "Alternate Proposal only." Cuba seems to be tagged 
according to an alternate proposal as well.

But http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highways says:

Which i understand as: don't use those alternate proposals.

After reading that voting thing above, i'd leave most of the roads as 
they are and only de-classify those that i know about.
openstreetbugs were the place to document wrong taggings.
