Hi, Yup, the inconsistency is consistent all across the planet :)
It's a consistent battle to be fixing up the wiki so that it gets to a happy medium. I'm currently working on cross-referencing the standard Garmin Map Features with the OSM Wiki Map Features page, and pointing out the inconstancies, and recommending solutions. (Solutions that may or may not be accepted) Sorry it's not the answer your looking for. As thats the nature of OSM The General idea, is that the Wiki 'Should' be the central source for the map features, thats why the new tag info website shows a feed directly what from whatever the wiki page says. http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/tags/highway=residential There is still lots of confusion as to what an 'unclassified road' is, for example. In time, these will be fixed. My best recommendation is to be tagging the same in the are our working on, and contact those users directly as to what their interpretation of the tagging is. If the source was from CanVec or GeoBase, keep in mind that the original data is old, so it might not reflect the real-world, especially in a fast-pace changing area like Vancouver.
