There definitely should be a convention for mapping footpads/goat tracks/desire lines. They're real things, they're verifiable, they're useful to map. highway=path; path=footpad perhaps? Separately there is the question of mapping router hints: suggested routes across open areas. I don't see a problem, in principle, with recording hints, as long as it's clear that that's all they are: foot=yes;_hint=yes perhaps. For the example at hand, I think standard practice is to connect the path to the edge of the parking lot, then make sure the other edge of the parking lot is connected to a highway=service...
