Steve - dip your toe in the Smoothness debate on the wiki, and recoil with horror that people have devoted so much time to arguing over suitability measures.
You can get a basic classification of physical attributes using the highway tag (especially when you know that 99% of the use of "path" is for unpaved footways). Something like bicycle:defacto probably allows you to record informal access, if the bicycle (legal) tag is insufficient.
