Anthony (and others), what did you think of my proposal from two days ago?:

highway=path (deprecate footway and cycleway!!)
*:legal=yes/no (e.g. bicycle:legal=* - for those who want to map the law)
*:signed=yes/no (e.g. bicycle:signed=* - for those who want to map
what's on the ground)
*:suitable=yes/no (e.g. bicycle:signed=* - for those who want to map
suitability)
designation=* (official classification, i.e. read from a legal document)
