However, I see that http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:footwaystates that "footway" is "abandoned". Anyhow, the two tags seem to be synonymous. On this topic, I'm a bit puzzled by the idea of a street (other than a one-way street, perhaps) being marked as having a pavement (footway/sidewalk/whatever) on the left or the right. Left or right from whose perspective? Thanks, Sam
