I fully oppose highway=footpath. This is not backward-compatible and
will therefore break almost all applications which use OSM data. It
conflicts with existing, heavily used tagging. Why don't you just say:
highway=path and highway=footway area equal tags. You can freely choose.
You need additional (to be defined) for a more detailed specification.
Best regards
Michael
