This isn't an argument that's ever likely to reach consensus. Use of highway=path for unmade paths, usage rights vague is unobjectionable. Use of highway=footway for made-up paths, default usage foot is unobjectionable.
Other uses carry a degree of ambiguity. All we can do is document the various uses, and suggest that people avoid using tags in ways that are open to misinterpretation.
