trailhead as a point is an interesting concept, and hard to pin down. It seems to apply to bigger trails more than anything else. Conceptually, what distinguishes something you'd call a trailhead? To me, a trailhead doesn't necessarily have good parking, but somehow stands out as a hike start/end location because the trail that comes to the road is particularly important. If a trailhead is just amenity=parking and information=board, we have a way to represent those. So I think what's really missing is some way to label some highway=footway as more important than others.
