Unpaved and paved values are valuable values. It is not possible to tag the word with precision, all values are imprecision of the real world. Just some are more precise than others. StreetComplete can have a quest for that, and there is a ticket about it https://github.com/westnordost/StreetCompl

That can be a problem. If I survey streets on ground it is problematic if it is tagged in such way. Then I struggle with a map app that show me the surface, but with no visible difference between a sett or similar surface or just surface=paved. Additionally I use StreetComple to find missing surfac

As a cyclist living in city with too many road with (bad) setts I’m happy to know when a road is asphalt or not. @Volker, wiki says that only trunk and motorway imply paved, check their pages. Though like I already said, implying tags is bad because it let data reader guess what you think is impl

OK, you confirm that the "paved is implied" statement in the wiki page is to be read as "assuming we are in Germany ... paved is implied" and is not referring to some wiki page that I have not yet detected (that was my question). I have no problem with the statement that most residential roads in G
