[Tagging] sidewalk=* or footway=*

[fly]

Please have a look into the archive of this list and the discussion of
the sidewalk proposal.

It was designed to replace footway=both/left/right/none but transition
is slow.

JOSM just introduced a validator warning offering an automatic change.

Speaking for myself, I did not care to change a whole city and with your
mentioned numbers a well-designed software will still look for both tags.
