Hi Martin, Some of the highway tag values are not clear. For example, scout does not route over highway=tracks, unless you are in pedestrian mode. It seems like a reasonable decision, perhaps all of the routers do this, but the wiki documentation says nothing of the sort, and it surprised me. If I see some weird route, related to missing highway=track tag, should I change the osm data, file a bug into scout, edit the highway=track wiki? I have no idea.
A start would be to have the 3 or 4 popular routers document what they are doing with the tags, since the code is proprietary, and then it will be easier to sort out who to blame when a bad route is generated.
