[mkgmap-dev] highway=unclassified & area=yes

Well, if these areas are legitimate OSM objects, that's one thing. But if
they're some mapper's idea of a way to customize the map for his or her (or
a company's) particular use then I think they should be removed. Especially
if they're causing routing problems.

What are they? What purpose do they serve? If those questions cannot be
answered then I say delete them.
