Along that line, to retag all the unpaved highway=path's in Nederland with
something more specific, we would need at least forest_path, dune_path,
heath_path, grass_quai and peat_path.

highway=path in Nederland usually just means you can walk it, probably
cycle it on an all terrain bike, and that's all we know. Some could be
highway=track, but most often that just means you can see recent tractor
marks there which can be completely absent next year and reappear the
year after.

Many are used to provide a route over an area. E.g. [highway=path]
[surface=sand] to cross a beach, [highway=path][surface=grass] over a
grassy multipolygon, [highway=path] [surface=paved] over a pedestrian area.
