I think
any language ambiguity related to "trail" can be solved with proper
documentation. And also document sane default access assumptions.

highway=path was documented from the beginning and default access assumptions 
have been given. It didn't help apparently ;-)
Good luck.

As highway=path could be sub tagged to be the same as highway=footway

It was simply a lazy way of tagging a 'footway' with some sub tags rather than 
actually using the existing tags.


My suggestion is to not assume any access defaults but rather explicitly tag 
everything, and surface as well. Everything you assume will be questioned and 
taken from you in a few years ;-) what is there explicitly will likely remain...

Unless highway=trail can be made exclusive of any other tag (including their 
sub tags) then it will only add to confusion and abuse of its use.
As 'footway' can be sub tagged to any thing I can conceive of at a 'trail' I 
see little hope of this occurring.
