The obvious problem with this is the massive redundancy. You need to tag for every possible form of transport, or infer suitability for something exotic from the provided suitabilities.

Hurray for absurd arguments. Obviously, 'slippery=yes' is implied on ice rinks. I do wonder why people are always jumping on the corner cases to discredit smoothness=*. Would one of you that think smoothness is worse than nothing care to comment on the "definition by example" I proposed in http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-November/031779.html ?
