The explicit "wheelchair=yes" would definitely be needed with those tags 
as they don't make it clear that it's suitable for negotiation by a 
"large wheeled object" - a steep footpath with corners that weren't 
negotiable by a wheelchair could still be tagged with an incline like that.

Have you tried contacting any of the consumers of the "access_ramp" 
data?  I'm assuming that none (or almost none) of them will read the 
tagging list; the DE forum will find a few, but a small portion of the 
number internationally.

Cheers,

Andy
