After a parallel discussion in the french ML, I would say that we will
probably not use it as it sounds too much UK specific.

Dear talk,
Could some native english speaker explain the difference between
highway=path and highway=byway recently introduced in map

What exactly are we trying to achieve with highway=byway? I can think of
two possible uses but both seem to have unresolved issues.
The first is simply to record that a particular way exists and has

What is the limit between highway=byway and highway=track ?
Byway is an official byway (a certain class of right of way in the UK),
or, if motorcar=no added, a restricted byway.
A highway=track is any other type of track - you can use the
