Ok, I took the liberty of drafting a proposal for a general description of
how to map pathways (that is, all highways that are not for
motor-vechicles). See
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10PtBPFDW3EHrBHl5sy8L-_5a0xNR1w-9YXt-gmfMB_M/edit?usp=sharing

I find the wiki terrible for collaborations like this, as is the wiki
discussion. I've therefore used Google Docs, although I realize not all are
happy with that. The document is open for anyone with the link to view
and comment and depending on what people say we can move this to another
platform if needed. And the end result obviously needs to be in the wiki.

I divided the mapping/tagging of pathways into:

   1. function (highway=footway|cycleway|path)
   2. legal access (access=*)
   3. usability (surface, smoothness & width, basically to denote usability
   for people of ordinary ability)
   4. technicality (trail_visibility, sac_scale, mtb:scale and a possible
   hiking difficulty tag, basically to describe a ways difficulty in more
   detail)
   5. additional tags (that I don't really see the use for, such as
   informal=yes/no and incline)

Comments are welcome. Is this a good start to clarify this mess?
