A track which does not have access=private or access=no or something is
always accessible and usable for pedestrians, so why would anyone want
to tag it as footway too? A footway, on the other hand, is never a track
because then it would have been tagged as one. I don't understand what
you're going on about, it must be something specific to the UK, and I
second Richard Fairhurst's suggestion that you take this to talk-gb.
