1) Remove the wording "(optional)" in front of the
explanation of some keys. What's the function of adding
(optional) in front of tags that are in the Useful section
of the table? Isn't every tag that is not in Required
optional by default?<br>

<div>It helps newbies. Newbies have to start somewhere, and
adding a walking/hiking route</div>
<div>might be the first thing somebody tries and doesn't read
any other documentation first.</div>
<div>At least consider a sentence under the heading "Useful"
explaining that those tags</div>
<div> are optional. Not strictly needed, but I'm remembering
my early days with OSM and</div>

Yes, to the sentence at the top. <br>
To me there are 3 things in the pecking order; required to make it
work, recommended to add really usefull detail and usefull for
adding stuff that matters little. <br>

<div>One distinction I saw (I have no idea where) is that it

<div>Walking shoes (at a pinch, even ordinary shoes) are

One hiking trail I know of the locals usually go bare foot, not only
because of poverty but also terrain. <br>
So the foot ware would be a guide, not a rule. <br>
Are all foot routes paved? I would think so. <br>
Hiking route may have sections that are 'paved', mainly to prevent
damage to the environment. <br>
