You are touching on a week point: OSM mapping manpower. The lack of this
level of detail is only partially due to lack of keys (if you draw a
separate sidewalk along a road, we normally do not map what separation
there is from the roadway, be it a 5cm high kerb or a guard rail). A kerb
does not prevent a pedestrian or a dismounted cyclist from crossing, but
would be a problem for a wheelchair.  My approach is a compromise, i.e.
mapping for the end user cyclist: I try to map all pedestrian crossings
and, admittedly depending on my time, also driveways, at reasonable
intervals, to connect in particular sidewalks and foot-cycle paths that run
along a roadway.  Not ideal, but a compromise.
