It's entirely reasonable to think "to my mind X means ..." but when
tagging thing in OSM it makes sense to try and match the approach of
more people - in OSM, the usage of highway=footway is much wider than
your definition.
But I'm sure someone will disagree, and the wiki is no help in
deciding the matter. :)
Indeed - rather than what the last person to edit the wiki wrote, I'd
try and follow global and local tagging norms. This doesn't mean that
there aren't excellent wiki pages that people have taken great care of -
just that there are some that don't live up to that (and some that
actually contradict each other).
