Drove AZ77 today and did some updates on it based on what I noticed. But when 
editing came across this area:

<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/32.62940/-110.73953>

The Cherry Wash Trail, for example, is a intermittent (ephemeral flow) stream 
bed. It is actually fairly common in the area for tracks and trails on desert 
land to follow a wash for some distance. And there are places where the entire 
length of a OHV or foot recreational trail is in a dry wash.

Should it be mapped with two overlapping ways, one for the trail/track and one 
for the wash, or with one way tagged for both uses?

My inclination is to use one way but that gives an issue with the name=* tag. 
In the case of the Cherry Wash Trail there is two names (“Cherry Wash” and 
“Cherry Wash Trail”).

My thought is to use one way with the following tags:

highway=path
name=Cherry Wash Trail
alt_name=Cherry Wash
waterway=stream
intermittent=yes

Thoughts? Comments?

Thank you
Tod
