`highway=footway` implies an access tag `foot=designated`
`highway=path` implies an access tag `foot=yes` (but can certainly be 
overridden)

“designated” is kind of a tricky concept, but it basically means something like:
- there is a sign saying you can walk there
- or something like a sign (trail blaze or map at trailhead or visitor center 
etc)
- or everyone just knows you are supposed to walk there (as in a sidewalk) 
because laws
