The point is that when you invent a new value for surface a lot of
consumers will assume it to be some kind of bad/worse surface and
reduce the average speed to expect.
I'd rather propose surface=asphalt asphalt=whisper or the like.
asphalt:type would also be okay with me. There are more likely 100s of types
of asphalt.
