I've seen maps from a multi-billion-dollar-revenue organisation that
were rendering anything with a highway tag the same as their most
minor road style. So I think it was a case of rendering highway=* as a
small road, and then adding additional rules for specific highway
values to show them as larger roads.

Very few people would make this mistake since it's a pretty obvious
problem that will show up quickly, but I do wonder how many people use
a specific list of road values and then draw everything else as paths.
In that case, there's a risk of highway=no showing up as a path.

Thanks,
Andy
