1. Numeric tags, perhaps grade1 .. grade8 similar to tracktype.
For information, that proposition was created a few month after the
smoothness acceptation to avoid using "subjective sounding words" like
very_bad/bad/good :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/usability
But wasn't accepted as it didn't change the core subjectivity of the
proposal. But I do personnaly still prefer scale numbers (it's easier to
remember that 3 is lower than 4) than remembering intermediate is better
than good
I'd take it that 3 being less than 4, means 3 has less smoothness than 4. And
so on. With the normal editors having a list of the possible values to chose
from solves the problem of remembering the order of the words (assuming they
are listed in order).
The degree of change between 3 and 4 would need a wordy description.. where as
conceptually the change from say bad, mediocre, to good is easier to grasp
without referring to the wiki description too often? Depends very much on the
words and the number of them. I'm still inclined to words..just! The words
themselves need to be well chosen.. that problem at least does not exist for
the number solution.
