Permissive means that you have permission by default. Is 'permit'
better-known by non-English speakers than 'permission'?
To me this would be something different: I would assume that a permit
is some document expressing permission. For something tagged with
access=permit I would assume you need an permit to access - this would
be more like access=private. So something like "tolerated" would also
be more intutive for me.


When I was adding this:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/52984927

which is something that you do need an actual permit to access (on a horse) I left the horse access as "permissive" but added a note against it. I'm not sure that "access=permit" without some sort of note would make it clear (even to a native English speaker).

Cheers,
Andy
