Hi! First say that I appreciate your proposal for improve the tagging of paths, is one of my interests too. I immediately understood what are you saying with «cul de sac» (I'm catalan!), and I take this opportunity to say that "cul de sac" path of Gavernie is fantastic and highly recommended path ;)
I think that unfortunately the key tracktype=* is more used simply because it's rendered in OSM map. I'm not sure if is a good key... I frequently have serious problems to decide the grade of a track, and I see in your proposal many similarities with the concept of this key... I understand your proposal, but I prefer the keys that show us more information about the path. I also think that grades can be used depending on subjective criteria very different and increase verifiability<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Verifiability>problems. I'm sure that if keys like trail_visibility=*, smoothness=*, sac_scale=* or obstacle=* were rendered in the map would increase their use, and would increase the information of the paths. Perhaps the paths in forests -for example- could be rendered with more information, like in cities, where you can see more information: shops, bollards, traffic lights, trees, etc.. with some icons. The nodes could be rendered with a icon, and the ways with an icon in the beginning and another icon when the value ends (for example, one icon in the beginning of trail_visibility=bad and in the final of this value). On the other hand, I find interesting the idea to say where the paths lead us. Perhaps the solution could be something similar to destination=*<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination>for paths. Regards!
