Guessing has no place in OSM.
What about smoothness? tracktype? (operator for that matter? how many
checks official company papers?)
Err...
Operator is verifiable, whether it's done is an entirely different subject.
Tracktype is verifiable against a visual scale:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tracktype
As I said, guessing is not useful for OSM, so smoothness, as it's
implemented at the moment is, to use one of it's adjective tags -
"horrible". It needs a photo related grading scale similar to tracktype.
Back on subject:
Just because other tags unfortunately use subjective guesswork doesn't
give you the right to do the same.
Please take advice from the vast majority of repliers& drop this proposal.
I'm taking slowly, but still got positive feedbacks. And most majority
was worried about the legal sidetrack, didn't you notice?
Hardly surprising when your proposed tag is 'illegal'!
So what if a the dumps/houses/graveyards are illegal? That has nothing
to do with OSM.
As others have pointed out OSM is a geographic map. Tag what you see on
the ground.
Illegal is a subjective adjective & has no place in the physical world
of OSM. Again, please drop this proposal.
