The "Map Features" page is really a very important page and not only for newcomers. It is supposed to show the commonly agreed way of tagging core features. But now we have this edit war about smoothness which enters in conflict with tracktype and surface. The way how those tags can co-exists is poorly documented at the moment (the same issue appears with path and footway/cycleway/bridleway).
This gives a very bad impression for newcomers if we continue to provide different solutions for the same features in the page saying "This page contains a core recommended feature set and corresponding tags". I agree with Andy : this single page cannot receive all possible features. And I have some ideas about other features which are not justified in this "core feature set" page. But this surface/tracktype/usability subject seems to be enough important to be included. And the "temptation" to put an accepted key/value in the Map Feature is very strong, like a page one in a newspaper. However, if there is a strong opposition (but not only from one person), then I would also suggest to re-open the proposal and try to reply to the valid remarks/questions.
