Since the off loading area is called an access aisle, both in the US and UK
[2], it seem to me that it would be an appropriate term to use.  Would
using highway=footway + footway=access_aisle +  wheelchair=yes be a more
acceptable tagging scheme? My concern is that just adding wheelchair=yes to
a footway doesn't get at the requirement for the width of the access_aisle.
