My own impression over the years has been that mappers use
highway=cycleway on anything that primarily for bicycle traffic,
and add
access keys for any other permitted traffic. Similarly for
highway=footway. So "highway=cycleway + foot=yes" and
"highway=footway +
bicycle=designated" are quite common.
Using cycleway/footway to map primary/secondary paths is a informal
but common practice.
Is there a general consensus that
these are better mapped as highway=path?
I had a go at summarising the case against path back in October:

Thanks for the background. Looks like Richard Fairhurst already reverted
the "shared foot/bicycle must be path" assertion on the cycleway=* page. J
