(not John, so somewhat different opinions) I think we need main/not in addition to what John suggests above. The point of main is to be able to know which of the side trails -- even if they look the same -- are ones that shouldn't be taken by accident. This is less of a big deal with a mountain trail that probably is well blazed than a loop trail in town conservation land that has too many extra trails.
