is it a "highway"? Tags are not always 1:1 representations of (all) the

When we have footway, cycleway, bridleway, steps, track, and via_ferrata,

Why does path get to stretch so far above its name and useful range?


I suspect it might help if you could explain what "path" means to you* - to my "English as spoken in England" sensibilities "path" is a broad term that can apply to a wide variety of physical characteristics.

* In fact wasn't there exactly this survey done some time ago - lots of pictures and "how would you tag this"?
