In the wiki page of path 
[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath], there is a 
comment abput that it's enough wide for 4-tracked vehicle to pass 
throught and not legally impeded, then it's track. You mention 
2-tracked. What is the real?

We have http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype in track but 
what is the equivalent in path?

What are the features a path could have that I can add to a path?

Thanks a lot,
Xan.
