Agreed!  Didn't mean to imply that armchair mappers could/should be
doing this, although I realize I wasn't clear.    If we are going to
work on improving trail data by building the community, working with
hiking/biking/etc groups, improving tools (not sure if this is
needed), then I recommend that tagging be at least a small part of the
focus.  As already observed, in many cases the trail geometry in OSM
is already better than any other source.
