Personal preference/country/region largely determine how you call it. For all practical purposes, highway=foot and highway=hiking are the same. If a renderer or datauser wants to be more specific, better to consider specific attributes of the relation(s) and the ways it uses, to determine how to render/categorize/filter the routes.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Fr gr Peter Elderson</div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Op di 13 aug. 2019 om 21:38 schreef s8evq <<a href="mailto:s8evq@runbox.com">s8evq@runbox.com</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">True, that's something that could be added to the tagging scheme.
