I'll try to answer the original question as succinctly as possible. As I understand it, the combination foot=no + sidewalk=separate means walking is not allowed at all on this street and the sidewalk belonging to this street is mapped as a separate way. Since the sidewalk belongs to the street, foot=no applies to it as well. It must be a sidewalk where walking is not allowed since walking is not allowed anywhere on this street.
