Just a side note, I think different rules for each country for footways can't be mapped exactly (some countries allow bikes on footways by default, some don't. What happens when country rules changes?). I personally would leave it to parsers/routers. Yes, maybe it's moves OSM just a little bit away to be strightfully useful map, but trying to fit current situation into tags won't help. There should be some basics we can agree on and then move on details.
So I agree with colegues from Germany - highway = cycleway for officially marked cycle ways and bicycle=yes for footways with cycle allowance mark. Routers depending on the rules of the country must asume that you can use footway with cycle or not.
