I think the point is that transition of tagging practice, even if it takes
a few years, is possible.

foot=yes is widely processed as an access tag, for sure.
dog=, stroller= and fishing_boat= however are far less likely to be
recognized as access tags even if used correctly.
If access:xxxx started off with the odd cases, it could build momentum, to
the point where the transition could
be seamless.

Contact and access are huge tag spaces that contain members that are
semantically fuzzy.  Data consumers
tend to ignore tags with too much uncertainty.
