Going slightly off topic, I notice the UK listing is missing byway, a
recognised highway classification.

Is there a notable physical difference between a "byway" in England
and Wales and a "track"? "Byway Open to All Traffic" and "Restricted
Byway" are both legal definitions (i.e. "designation" tag), but is
there a physical difference too?
I'd say the physicality of byways varies in the same way tracks do.
However I'm not sure it's a valid reason to not define it separately.
Think of it as similar to the accepted way of tagging highways like
highway=motorway, instead of highway=road, designation=motorway.
I've yet to come across a non copyrighted source for BOATs & Restricted
Byway, & as most byways are tagged on the ground as just 'byway' I still
believe it's a valid tag & should not be deprecated as suggested in the
wiki.
Cheers
