In the US, there are a vast number of places where the public goes (at normal hours), and they are not in fact public rights of way. A typical supermarket or other shopping area has parking lots, and footpaths, etc. In OSM we typically don't have access tags on them. But if we did, access=permissive is more likely right than access=yes.
I agree, I think this is exactly what access=permissive is for: Nobody's guaranteeing your *right* to use this road/toilet/whatever, but best we know, nobody's going to stop you. And honestly I predict this is how the pedestrian way I was tagging will end up as well -- It's highly unlikely the building's going to be posting rent-a-cops all night to make sure only residents and their guests are walking through. They just want to have a legal standing to chase away anyone who's camping out or loitering. Still, the sign's there, and I think the map should reflect it. I'll see how it feels over time, and if the signage changes. For now I've tagged it as =destination, with the daytime exception. J
