I don't think we want or need an mtb= tag.
Even though we don't need a path=mtb tag, I'd be OK with it.  It would be a shortcut instead of adding some of the other tags.  I don't think routers for cycle touring should rely on this though. I live in a popular mtb location (Colorado, USA), and I don't think I've come across an mtb=*  way.   My tag searching skills are weak, but on taginfo it looks like very few instances of this tag in the rocky mtns, quite a few in Europe.

I agree with Martin here, if tags are used but not documented on the wiki, discussion on the mailing lists or through a proposal process, how would such tags hold any meaning? Different editors probably add it to mean different things. We can't really make any assumptions about what they mean, which is why this whole discussion exists so we can have some kind of contract between people entering tags and people consuming data, so we have a shared understanding of the meaning of those tags.

Anyone who's used the mtb= tags so far, it would be great to hear what this was meant to mean.

        As a side note: I would be worried to redefine the mtb=yes/no
        tag that is not documented but widely used.



    how can it be "redefined" if there isn't documentation about it?

    Cheers
