Not really - we use the same tag (highway=unclassified/residential) for 
a minor two-way frontage road 
(http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.601978,-81.317662&spn=0.007865,0.020599&t=k&z=17&layer=c&cbll=28.602754,-81.315139&panoid=EV7jbCGN5iNMrAlu4jMA7w&cbp=12,276.98,,0,7.41) 
as for an ordinary minor road.

Yes, a sidepath will cross every driveway, while a path on its own 
right-of-way generally has fewer crossings. Here's a typical sidepath 
(which is actually built on an old railway grade):
