Yes, I agree firmness works better than stiffness for describing a surface.
I still would prefer a term that better characterizes what Fernando said
above: "To me, the idea [of] a firm/soft mixture seems closely related to
"how well maintained" the track/road is, as mixtures that are not so
durable
"Firmness" sounds good to me: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/firmness
I know that "soundness" means the same but has some additional
meanings (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/soundness),
"firmness" is more specific.

Two subjective opinions that agree create "consensus", this is I
believe what we seek in OSM when defining tags. Replacing 'stiffness'
with something else is absolutely fine with me. I think the word we
replace it with will essentially be the definition of tracktype. I'm
sure I'm not the best perso
But if the surface is rocky or stone, can it really be described as
"surface of gravel mixed with a varying amount of sand, silt, and
clay" (grade2) or "even mixture of hard and soft materials" (grade3)
and so on?

Either "compacted earth road" (more specific) or "unsurfaced road"
(which I prefer); or "green lane"

I think this depends how even/smooth it is, grade1 is

I knew I would be opening Pandora's box when I made those statements. As

I started thinking there was landuse=school & landuse=hospital when there

So my previous comments probably made no sense. I'm really sorry about that.
