For 1 - seriously, you do. In the UK we don't have some roads tagged
"A3400"
and others tagged "A-3400" and others tagged "CNSE" (Chipping Norton
Stratford Expressway, _obviously_): they're all tagged a la "A3400". Our
roads are coherently classified according to the UK highway system, even
though it might seem counterintuitive (we tag non-primary A roads as
"highway=primary" - well, so what). As a result our map looks lovely. If
you
get your shit together than your map will look lovely too.
First we even have to agree on how it *should* be in the US. There were
some arguments on one of the lists, but like everything else, I don't think
it's settled. Now that we have relations, etc, the single agreed-on style
can be applied later with a bot after we decide how they should be ref'd or
named in the relation.
