1) true, but wouldn't that by default be all steps unless otherwise noted? I guess in this case it's assumed that the steps inherit their implicit access from bridleway, so that might be different from the general case...? 2) a noble cause, but again I would think that excluding bicycle=no from such a list of places would be more beneficial than including bicycle=yes
3) of course

At any rate, the worst outcome of this is redundant information in OSM, which isn't so bad all things considered :)

1) at least some people may be interested in places where cycling across
steps is legal (not fan of MTBing etc but at least some people like it?
not really sure here about whether it is actually something that people
look for )

2) people may be interested in places where cyclists nominally have
right of the way but actual infrastructure is not suitable for cycling

3) yes, routers need to look also on other tags and process various
obstacles (see also surface=sand and so

And in general meaning is clear: these are steps were cyclist are
allowed to cycle.

Note it does not mean that cycling is feasible or a good idea there.

    Generally speaking, how do we reconcile these two?

    bicycle=yes
    highway=steps

    What is a data consumer supposed to infer from this as opposed to
    just highway=steps? As long as foot=designated, aren't cyclists
    always allowed to get off the bike and push/carry it? And wouldn't
    they have to when there are steps?

    Hi DaveF,

    Acting on advice, I have already split the Bridleway and
    re-tagged 2 sections as:

    bicycle=yes
    designation=public_bridleway
    foot=designated
    highway=steps
    horse=designated
    incline=down  (or up)
    lit=no
    surface=paved

    The steps can be seen on aerial imagery (a bit fuzzy on Bing, but
    particularly clear in the aerial imagery whose name shall not be
    mentioned in OSM), plus I remember running through there a few 
    months ago, so I know that the steps are there.  I intend to
    visit again soon and add more detail (number of steps, etc.)

    Between these is a section of the orignal way, which is now
    https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1277843368

    I hope this helps and that you agree with the tagging.

    Regards,
    Peter

    Could you provide the link to the OSM way please?

    Advice, please.

    A local Public Bridleway has a few (3, 4 or 5 from Aerial
    imagery) steps going down before it passes under a road bridge,
    and a similar number up again on the other side.

    How can I best tag this? According to the wiki, "highway=steps"
    seems to be *an alternative to*, not *a qualification of *
    "highway=bridleway". I don't want to mislead consumers by
    breaking the bridleway, but I don't want cycling consumers to be
    unaware of the fact that there are a few steps to descend /
    ascend, which may require a dismount.
