Hi In the UK we tend not to have "trailheads". We do however have a variety of guideposts.
The following link provides an example which may be of help in this discussion: http://www.peakandnorthern.org.uk/signposts/about-our-signposts.htm This is tagged with the following: information=guidepost operator=Peak & Northern Footpaths Society ref=1234 source=survey;gps tourism=information These would generally be mapped as a separate node. Where the start of a footpath is identified but the route not mapped it has been common practice to mark the start of the way and put in a fixme. This is certainly very helpful when seeking to find footpaths that need mapping.
