This is where I continue to be confused.

Presumably the land owner can always access, which has made the
distinction between 'private' and 'no' unclear to me. By your
definition, the only justification for 'no' would be that a way is
impassable, in which case, why isn't it abandoned:highway=whatever,
rather than highway=whatever access=no?

On the other hand, 'no' meaning 'landowner and designees only', while
'private' means 'some third parties may access, but no permission
routinely granted to the general public' would make eminent sense.
