It's difficult to make a precise definition of course. Some ideas
of mine:
No hard surface: footpath
No houses next to it: footpath
High use: pedestrian
Urban area: pedestrian
The wide expanse is in the sense of a (town) square or a pedestrian
area.

Then we should delete the next line from the wiki:
"For small paths which are too small for cars to pass (no real
streets) use highway [2]=footway [3] instead. "
I agree. I would not use that as as single guideline to use
highway=footway.
In Barcelona I encountered this street:
<http://maps.google.nl/maps?ll=41.380584,2.181439&spn=0.000779,0.001894&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=41.380584,2.181439&panoid=Z5Al9C_PiNq_MeNrDM36dw&cbp=12,300.97,,0,-0.64>
In OSM it is a highway=pedestrian:
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=41.380561&lon=2.181011&zoom=18&layers=M>
I would not map this as a footway.
Regards,
Maarten
