We do: that's what the designation tag is for ;-) Many people use highway=track, path, service, etc for the *physical* condition of the path and then designation=public_footpath,public_bridleway, etc for the rights. Or, for permissive paths, foot,horse=permissive. Also I think Mapnik does render tracktype tags now. Nick
