Yes, some information is lost, because a footway, also an inclined one, can be any kind of geometry (it can be older than current building standards and not follow them), while a wheelchair ramp has to meet certain criteria, especially if it's publicly accessible. But I don't think we should be fragmentating the highway values for these either, in the end, it is a footway (or maybe bicycles are allowed as well?). What about an additional attribute, like wheelchair=ramp? Or wheelchair_ramp=yes? Btw., the tag highway=access_ramp doesn't specify that the ramp is built for wheelchairs. Cheers, Martin
