FYI, the map style I'm working on for cycle touring does make this distinction: http://emscycletours.site44.com/map2.html#egrt Also a quick stat for you. 165,000 highways in Australia have a surface tag. 718,000 don't. > They show little interest I must admit but will show even less if we point > to a whole range of surface= tags that need that treatment.

You might be right - but on a technical front, it's no more burdensome to show all of [unsealed, unpaved, gravel, dirt] as a dashed line rather than just, say, unpaved.
