-1 for the parantheses:

mapping the sidewalk "way" at one side of the sidewalk changes the 
meaning of the location of the way, and data consumers have to distinct 
between "this way is a "normal" way, abstracted to a center line" and 
"this way is a sidewalk, which can be seen probably because it's part of 
a street relation. Then let's calculate, where the main street way is 
according to this way to decide, which side the footway has to be 
rendered toward." - sorry, that sounds like crap.
