... or use a source tag to make it clear where it's come from and that a ground survey hasn't been done there? I'm sure that there'll be places where a right of way does one thing and the path on the ground another.
Just last night I found a designated bridleway (also explicitly signed for cyclists at one end) that from point A goes into a field of barley to the field boundary, then left for a similar distance to point B, rather than using an existing gravel track that goes direct from A to B. Clearly everyone (excepting the odd pedant) uses the gravel track, but it's not where the sign points. I'll add both when I add them, but it'll be the mostly unused one that gets the "designation" added.
In some parts of the country you could put the difference between council data and a path in OSM as "less than accurate" path recording in OSM, but thanks to Andy and Nick in Hampshire I don't think that's likely to be the case much there.
