I use highway=footway, note=residential, name=whatever. This renders as
a footway and the name appears.
This is a whole new trend for town planners, where people no longer live
on streets, and their houses have no vehicular access (other than a
nearby un-named service road) so their address doesn't refer to a road
but a footpath. Another variation I've just come across is a large area
of residential footpaths with a single name (e.g. Sedgefield), all
service roads share that same name but no one actually lives adjacent to
a road. In that case I'm tagging the area and not even showing the
residential footpaths because it would end up a mess.
