I think we should add a new type of footway, and then render it the way people like. For example, footway=alley. Wikipedia page for alley has photos of exactly the old town streets as I believe you are talking about. That way service=alley is reserved for American type alleys for garbage trucks, and footway=alley is reserved for old town streets.
I looked at tag info, there are 102 footway=alley tags already. The war plan looks like this: 1. create a wiki page for footway=alley 1. add footway=alley to old towns that managed to keep highway=footway tags, 2. reach a critical mass of tags, add rendering that is similar to pedestrian, 3. retag pedestrian tags.
