 it looks like classifying Urban Freeways and Expressways as motorway 
 is the way to go.  I double checked GA400, US78, and GA316 and they fall 
 in the Urban Freeways and Expressways where they are exclusively 
 limited access.  So after going back through the definitions from the 
 FHWA documents, here is a revised crosswalk. let me know what you think
 
 Rural Interstate Principal Arterial - highway:motorway
 Rural Principal Arterial - highway:trunk
 Rural Minor Arterial - highway:primary
 Rural Major Collector - highway:secondary
 Rural Minor Collector - highway:tertiary
 Rural Local Road - highway:residential
 Urban Interstate Principal Arterial - highway:motorway
 Urban Freeways and Expressways - highway:motorway
 Urban Principal Arterial - highway:primary
 Urban Minor Arterial - highway:secondary
 Urban Collector Street - highway:tertiary
 Urban Local Street - highway:residential

I'd consider setting “Rural Local road” as highway=unclassified.
Otherwise, it looks great to me.

 I've

 argument,

 How is there even an argument there?  track is for cars and always has
 been, while path is for not-cars and always has been.

 There's an ongoing thread on the newbies list about tracks and paths not
rendering in the cyclemap layer.  It's basically a rehash of the code for
accuracy, not for the renderer.  The start of the thread is at

how hard is it (either technically or politically) to get the
major renderers to adapt to needs like this?  as i understand it,
the paved/unpaved topic has much the same issue.  (and i'd like
to be able to tell my new-to-osm friends that they'll someday be
able to actually see the results of adding unpaved tags.)
