Adding to which...

I think half the problem is that the wiki documentation on US highway
classification is confusing, contradictory and inconsistent.

In the changeset discussion, UAN51 keeps referring to wiki pages that back
up his way of doing things. It's understandable that he feels aggrieved that
he's doing things by the book, and then someone comes along and tells him
"you're doing it wrong" (though it would have been nice if it were expressed
a little less confrontationally!).

I've encountered similar situations a couple of times in the past, once
going so far as to nuke an entire wiki page because it was actively
misleading people
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Functional_Classification_System,
as per https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47671066). 

It would be great if a couple of people could take on the task of
rationalising the docs and making it consistent. It's not my place to do so
as a visitor from across the pond, but there are some smart and talented
people on this list who I'm sure could make a good job of it, and I'd be
happy to help if needed.
