I would nowadays tend to do the same as our German friends for rural paths
that had no legal right of passage on foot and were not wide enough to be
called tracks. Having said that, I used to use highway=footway for these
plus foot=permissive - so I am still not really sure which is the better
option!

About 14000 of the 14990 appear to be using highway=path for woodland paths,
in Germany, and without designated access tags. The punters appear to want
something that doesn't show up as a footway/cycleway.

Every time it gets discussed, it becomes *less* clear how it's being
used to me. And I'm mightily concerned that the 10 people discussing
it on these lists might be in no way representative of the 14,990
people who are mapping paths and aren't in these discussions.

Cheers,
Andy
