This doesn't directly answer your question but might be useful....</div>

If you have a Strava account, you can utilise the Strava Heat map as an overlay in your editor of choice. The heat map will often clearly show you the "on the ground" route taken by Strava users (it's essentially the same as OSM's public GPS traces but with,
seemingly, many more users).</div>

I've found it very useful when mapping paths - especially for the two examples you give.</div>

<div dir="auto">I've tried searching but cant find anything relevant.
<div dir="auto">Are there any conventions or proposals for tagging items for which there is some evidence but not conclusive evidence of its existence?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">For example looking at satellite imagery you can see a path that goes under some trees and a hedge and appears to come out the other side. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">There are also many public footpaths marked on official maps that can be added using the osm website but definitely need to be checked on the ground as they might not be passable</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">There might be a phone box but you don't know if it's working or converted to something else.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">It would be good if there is a way of mapping this so that apps could use it to help confirm its existence without just leaving notes all over the place which is especially difficult to ask about when a path.</div>
<div dir="auto">Thanks</div>
