Careful with a mass edit "soil" > "dirt" Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirt - note that "soil" is one type of "dirt" in this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground, which says that "ground", as surface, is the same thing as "soil" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_%28disambiguation%29 defines "earth" as a synonym of "soil" or "ground" (as surfaces) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirt_road - note that the "dirt" of the "dirt road" is soil
435000 surface=dirt 820000 surface=ground 22500 surface=earth 400 surface=soil If you feel the need to get rid of "soil" it should be changed to "ground", not to "dirt". I would not change it at all if the same mappers have used also any of the other tags in this group. This would indicate to me that they had something specific in mind that is escaping us.
