Sorry, I meant 'lower than tertiary and more important than
residential'.  I don't see unclassified showing up more than
residential, and I don't see it in the map key on the main osm site.

In that case we need a parallel tag to unclassified, meaning local-only
but without the residential notion.  But around me there aren't enough
such roads to worry about, and they're all tagged residential from
massgis import anyway :-)
