Somebody changed it a while back to be rather unclear because that person confused "unclassified" (OSM meaning) with "uncategorized." And because residential roads are categorized, that person believed that meant they were not unclassified (not the OSM meaning). Somebody (might even have been you) asked for a reversion. I did it, and expanded it a little to avoid the unclassified/uncategorized confusion arising again. That change was not without dispute from those who thought that through roads that pass through a residential area ought to be tagged as residential. Which diverged into this thread. We've come full circle. And may go around the loop a few more times before we all collapse from exhaustion. :) -- Paul
