Every data user who does not support highway=footpath will loose all paths have highway=footpath because he expect them as highway=footway or highway=path. That's what I call backward-incompatible. Every data user has to add highway=footpath to his style sheets, scripts, config files etc. Please read paragraph 8 to 10 of Andy Allan's posting at Github 1 1/2 years ago. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/230#issuecomment-29238913 Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
