I think these kinds of things would be great, if we were only making products for mountain bikers and hikers. But we aren't. Are we instead supposed to send one person from every end-user fraternaty to map every path over and over again? Also, given that I'm a mountain biker and I have no idea what a "handy surface" is, nor what a "bail like hairpin" is, I have great doubts about these particular guidelines. They sound like they can open the way for many tagging disputes!
