Hello everybody, as promised, I came back with an "official" proposal.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sidewalk_as_separate_way I tried to summarize what my ideas are, and why I don't believe that tagging the main road is any good. To summarize here: to tag a sidewalk: * highway=footway * footway=sidewalk It's that simple. The basic idea is that sidewalks *are* footways. From the highway=footway page: "for designated footpaths, i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians". And sidewalks perfectly fit IMVHO :) The proposal also lists cases for crossings and other features, but that's the basic tagging. Enjoy, David -- . ''`.
