Thanks for putting words into my mouth. Clearly I'm not. "mainly/exclusively" is the difference. Access permissions cascade down[1]. We grew out of tagging highway=secondary;motorcar=yes;foot=yes;horse=yes;motorcycle=yes;bicycle=yes;penguin_on_a_skateboard=yes about three years ago - people were starting to take the piss (http://mappinghacks.com/2006/09/18/have-a-nice-metadata/). So why on earth you think that highway=cycleway;foot=yes is still required, I have no idea. Unless, of course, you do actually go around tagging highway=secondary;motorcar=yes;foot=yes etc. etc., in which case full marks for consistency albeit no marks for clue. But, you know, well done on finally uploading some GPS tracks in the last few weeks (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Hawke/traces). Maybe actually doing some mapping will give your opinions some weight, rather than just being another tedious wikignome. We live in hope.
