Justification? That seems just dogmatic. A virtual path (or some
equivalent) solves a longstanding problem with routers failing to cross
accessible open ground.
If someone can walk across a space in a safe and legal way, a "path"
comes into existence, at least in the abstract.
I do think that "virtual" rather than "visibility=no" conveys that
situation more clearly.

So are you actually saying we should map "virtual", "non-visible",
in essence non-verifiable things ?<br>
Map for the router? A router is a piece of software, some less some
more sophisticated, the more sophisticated ones could suggest where
to pass.<br>
<p>All routers are used by humans, mostly with a map, if I as a
human decide to use a less sophisticated one I can look at the map
or at the location where I am to decide where to pass.</p>
<p>What is next ? We add tags that say the virtual path is not
accessible by less mobile people because there is a small ditch.
I have to add jump=yes, access:wheelchairs=no,
access:children=no_ditch_to_wide,
access:high_heels=no_land_to_soft ? <br>
