The issue I have is that they do not have similar characteristics, yet get
rendered the same. It's like if all tracks were rendered as residential roads.

But it doesn't.
You're citing your own personal hierarchy between "trails" and "easily
traversed footways", which is fine. But that hierar

Well, we are in agreement there.

I presume you mean "data consumer", and as the data consumer who probably
parses path tags in more detail than any other (for cycle.travel), I do
