<p><font face="Verdana">You are trying to propose a mapping practise

We don't map for the router. Actually I don't see any added
value in this tag how this would improve or simplify a router
program.<br>

<div>there’s also modest use of highway=virtual </div>

<div>but footway=link beats it by factor 10. Did you check how
it is used?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe we can already map the situation you are
describing where a sidewalk ends:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>split at the kerb, connect to the street highway (this is
always done, the last part of a footway connecting to a street
is always virtual).</div>
<div>Add footway=sidewalk to the sidewalk and footway=crossing
to the part on the road. Tag the crossing node with
highway=crossing and crossing=unmarked </div>
