That might be one special case of trailblazing, but is not reflected by <br>
the description of the tag. The tag is used to describe if there is any <br>
kind of trailblazing, independent of the visibility of the way and the <br>
kind of markers used. In particular, there is trailblazed=symbols which <br>
needs one of the "symbol" tags for further description.<br>
