Hi all:
I was the one who organized the import of 14,000+ places nodes in
Liberia back in September 2014.
The idea of giving place=unknown (together with a fixme=* tag) to places
that were not possible to determine its value was proposed during the
discussion in the imports list [1] [2].

Hi,
Is 'unknown' really such an unusual and undesirable as an access tag? I
thought it was long-established, if not especially common. If the issue is

I think that highway=footway foot=unknown adds a useful level of nuance.
For example a routing
You have a point… :-)
The wiki already presents the idea that unknown means "unclear". [2]
Taginfo tells access=unknown has 20 thousand occurrences (i.e. 0.30% and
ranking at the 11th position), which makes it not so unusual. [3]
The discussion here shows the value of "unknown" raises confusion
