[Tagging] Cleaning up

>What inevitable ?. I think that drawing sidewalks is silly and waste of time. 

   Around here, sidewalks can be such a novelty that I recently read a request of someone looking for a map of my city with sidewalks - 
"Does anyone know if a map exists showing which streets have sidewalks ..."

Let say that 99.99% of the unclassified and residential roads can be walked on both sides, why should we draw the sidewalks everywhere ? It would be more clever to tag where sidewalks are missing or not allowed, imo.

   Perhaps the ability to specify defaults for a admin area would help to eliminate redundant entries.
