Proposal discussion http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/surface_unification Please read the talk-page before commenting on this! Introduction: This proposal should improve the current usage of the surface=*-key. It is needed because surface is currently a mix of fastness and material types. The fastness should go to surface:paved=* and the materials should go to surface:material=*. With surface:condition=* we are trying to describe the status of the surface with less subjective values than smoothness=* does. It should extract the best of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:surface , http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/surface_values and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/more_surface_values . If it gets widely used by the community it could later replace things like http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Smoothness and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/grade1-5. surface:paved=* and surface:material=* can be filled by values currently used in surface=*. Also see the already used keys surface_material and surface_state on tagwatch!
