Shared path (signed with pedestrian/bicycle symbol): highway=path +
foot=designated + bicycle=designated.
Unlabelled paths, if you insist: highway=path +
bicycle:much_more_suitable_than_average=yes (+ foot=* where
applicable)

Re: current usage: not true. See e.g.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath/Examples
Re: current renderer style sheets: Please file a bug (if there isn't
one filed already) for the particular style sheet you are referring
to, if you think the rendering isn't appropriate given the
descriptions in wiki.
