Good discussion,
I also think the track should be mapped.
Aside from access no I think it might be worthwhile adding
decommissioned or rehabilitation tags to tracks that should not be
used to indicate their intended end.
Other thoughts are:
- why show access=no tracks on the map? Admittedly this comes down to
the data consumers and their rendering.
Same reason why private roads get shown - they can be use
navigationally, for example, I am half way along the road because I have
just passed that track that has no access.
- would tagging the whole area with access=conditional add any value?
No. Not unless that area does truly have that. And then renders will
have to recognise any thing inside it as having that access tag too.
- how will this discussion that will end in some form of agreed
practice be documented on the map, aside from revised tracks that is?
- have they also threatened other mapping companies with legal
actions? ianal but my response would be highlighting the various
mismatches as already pointed out in the thread.

Frederick,
If I use the term bush walking colloquially, then it means to
use a track that already exists., either single track or 4wd track
(fire trail) predominantly
Some call that 'track walking'.
however there might be times where you cross a grass land where
there is no well defined track.
And some would see that as true 'bushwalking'.
If you are talking about walking through a forest not on a track
or the track is hideously overgrown than I would call that "bush
bashing".
The term 'scruby' is used by some for areas where vegetation causes
scratched skin, ripped clothing.
Most tend to avoid these areas when ever possible after a few
encounters, even if the distance is more than doubled.
The term hiking has connotations mainly of trails with the odd bit
of bush bashing included.
Large wombats and kangaroos who can create tracks in sparse
undergrowth that is hard to tell from a man-made walking trail on
the ground. Another issue is old bulldozer tracks or firefighter
tracks that were used to stop wild fires (sometimes called mineral
earth breaks). Normally these are removed post the wildfire but
sometimes only at the start of the new track.
In the brochure, that sounds like I should stay on the trails.if
