Undone. But we need to talk about how messy the scheme is becoming by mapping cycleways and sidewalks differently when separate from the main way.
We have sidewalk=separate [1] on the main way to express that a sidewalk was mapped separately. We have footway=sidewalk [2] on the separate way to express that it is a sidewalk and not some other kind of footway. On cycleways, we don't suggest using any tag (we only advise against double representation) [3], even though cycleway=sidepath has been used for both purposes [4]. It would be sensible to use the same terminology to express the same concept, while adoption is still low.
