Unfortunately it is more difficult to map properly the minor roads and ways, in comparison with the major roads. There much more variegated in appearance, in use, in rules ecc, and, at least in my part of the world there are also simply more in numbers. It is also correct that the available sets of tags of keys are not orthogonal, but whatever we invent in additional new tagging, won't make the existing tagging go away. So whatever we add, we make life for data consumers even more complicated. And redefining the meaning of the existing tags is also out of the question. What we can do is to improve the documentation, which is overlapping and dispersed abd, maybe, we can do better in documenting country-specific tagging traditions, but not more. Also when doing so we have to avoid absolutely anything that my appear to be wiki fiddling.
