1) Trunk in Czechia is "motorway-like". Feel free to document local conventions here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_classes Also, see this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrunk#International_equivalence
2) Highway classification is not really a measurable thing. I'd compare it to how admin_level works. There is some equivalence, but everyone understands that admin_level=4 means something slightly different in Czechia and in the US. I'd be very careful about global definitions as we might easily end up with entire countries without even a highway=primary. I mean, how can Brazil have unpaved trunk roads? Does Iceland get to keep its trunk road when it has only one city of more than 35000 inhabitants? Do we get to keep trunk roads when there are several cities in China with more people than the entire Czech Republic? By similar logic the outer border of Czech Republic should be approximately admin_level=4 (to match US states) and trust me that EU integration is not yet at the point where that would be acceptable. :) Let's get the wiki filled in, we might be wiser afterwards. @djakk: Thanks for making the discussion a little more organized.
