I gather the convention is to mark any unsurveyed road which one has some
information as simply "highway=road", on the basis that you know nothing
else about it. But what about when the information comes from high quality
imagery (like nearmap in australia)? I've been mapping these as
"highway=residential" etc, although of course I don't know the name.

My question arises from CloudMade highlighting "highway=road" ways in their
OSM downloads, as though that was the definitive way of indicating an
incompletely surveyed road.
