Surely the road in this case simply has tide-related opening times (and

No. This proposal is not about normal roads that may be open or closed
depending on the tide. This is about unsurfaced paths which are always
physically accessible (i.e. never "closed"), but will be flooded at
high tide; using them without knowing that that they become flooded
may cost your life.
Because the OSM ecosystem is full of software that goes "ah,
highway=footway, I'll use that and oh, look, there are some extra tags
that I don't understand, I'll just ignore them" it would be dangerous
to tag such a way with a normal "highway" value.
I think your wrong.
As Colin suggests any flooding/tidal data it should be tagged with a
child tags to allow the way to be tagged to the correct highway
classification.
Your not understand/ignore argument is weak. I mean, where would you
stop? tag everything with just one label?
