Pah, 'standards' often just limit creativity.

My only suggestion is to try and translate it (as far as possible) into non-subjective components. The components should then be more amenible to tagging. It's similar to cycle paths being good/bad/rubbish where we discussed using tags like surface=gravel as objective components to create a subjective result. It also allows more creativity by the end-user (e.g. render, routing app) giving the components different weightings (e.g. downhill steps would get +5 fun from me!)
