<p>Current (correct) mapping practice at least with sidewalks and
similar, is to connect the way to the adjacent street at
appropriate places (see below for more on that), essentially just
as you are proposing for *=link. You don't mention that you intend
to replace the current practice at all as far as I can see.</p>
<p>The other issue is that you are assuming the US of A is
everywhere, there are lots of countries in which it is perfectly
legal to cross streets anywhere, except in the immediate vicinity
of a crosswalk. Actually if there is an issue with separate
sidewalk mapping it is that there is no well established way to
indicate that, but you don't address that at all.</p>
