+1. I think that in a not so far future (maybe already by now) the main work on the map won't be so much about streets but about all the other features we put into the maps. I recommend to focus on simple tools to add and edit this extra information and to refine the already existent data, rather than start a edit war on editors for tagging streets ;-). I strongly believe that there should always be some space for interpretation in which road class a certain road would actually fit best. > It must not be necessary for a newbie to crawl through tons of > wikipages with contradictory information and inconsensus to find find > out the right tagging.
