And, I asked you to kindly wait a couple of days more. That's it. And remember:
there's no such thing as "official"/"unofficial" tags in OSM.

I don't really care about credit.
"My" proposal is to distinguish it from "your" proposal. I could have said
"mapping sidewalks as a separate way" vs. "tagging the main road". But you see
that's long :)

That's *VERY* rude.
We are a community, your answer sounds like "sorry, but the bureaucracy machine
started, and I can't do anything". That's not true, and it seems like you're the
