Sure, I realize I can (with enough spare time) render what I want. The mkgmap style I have does in fact mark dirt roads (by abusing track, as you suggest, which needs fixing), and I'll get around to making osmand show them too.
My point was that for almost all map users (in cars or road bikes), knowing if a road is dirt is very important. Having something in the default render means other mappers are more likely to be aware of the paved/not status and fix it. So I really am talking about the default style, not what anyone else can do. As for style, I mean something as simple as dashed casings when unpaved, similar to a lot of exiting road maps. I don't think this adds clutter - there will just be a few pixels missing, and most people will understand it without even looking that the key given usage in other maps. (I can certainly see why the default style wouldn't render lots of things (radio towers, for instance), so I'm not trying to suggest a map-nerd default render.)
