IMO, Absence of an implied barrier (kerb) does not make it a special type of 
crossing. If the footpath is explicitly mapped over the crossroad and there is 
a barrier for wheelchairs etc, I would expect to tag the barrier itself, or the 
linking node, or the road section of the footpath for wheelchairs etc to 
indicate that wheelchair routers cannot route over the barrier, linking node or 
footpath section.

If no kerb is mapped, no lowered kerb needs to be mapped either. Default 
presence of kerbs could be deduced from context, but then the context would 
need to be explicitly mapped.

If you only map what is actually there, everyone can draw their own conclusions 
from the actual situation. Conclusions regarding access, priority and 
accessibility could differ among countries but there is no need to tag for 
different countries, customs, expectations and legislations.

Just thinking.
