Agreed : the project instructions & wiki could use some clarification for consistency. I can help with that if there's agreement on the tagging scheme.
The Nepal/Roads Wiki section on "tagging rural vehicular highways" states, "In practice highway=unclassified is usually the best choice", and "Sometimes highway=track is used, but in Nepal's classification scheme, it is typically used for agricultural roads." http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads#Tagging_rural_vehicular_highways That differs from project instructions (for several relevant Nepal projects), which don't mention 'unclassified' and say to use 'track'. I had been tagging many dirt roads as highway=track, consistent with instructions and other tiles I had viewed, but now I'm seeing more tiles using highway=unclassified for such roadways.
