I'm just still not sure if we should categorise paths so they display
correctly with the current limitations of a rendering algorithm.
When reading the main wiki
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Cycleway ) I understand the
definition of cycleway to mean bicycle only paths or

Meh, who cares. What we're essentially doing here is forking OSM, just while
still using their database. Why do all the Australian mapping guidelines need
to be global? So long as what we tag ends up being consistent enough that their
rendering works 99% of the time it's not really going to
