wheelchair=no is defined by http://wheelmap.org/ conventions, and is a
suitability tag, not an access tag.
Thus you'd never write "access:wheelchair=no", where you might write
"access:foot=no".


-------------

The project I think would benefit from separating legal and suitability
access tags,
and from introducing namespaces.


Suitability tags are tricky and subjective.  For that reason they should be
more than yes/no,
perhaps following something more like sac_scale.
