To me, in the UK, highway=track is an unmetalled road that can be 
accessed & has been used by motor vehicles, but on it's own does not 
imply any access rights. I always indicate those using sub-tags such as 
foot=*, horse=* etc.

Going slightly off topic, I notice the UK listing is missing byway, a 
recognised highway classification.
