I agree, I think this is exactly what access=permissive is for: Nobody's
guaranteeing your *right* to use this road/toilet/whatever, but best we
know, nobody's going to stop you. And honestly I predict this is how the
pedestrian way I was tagging will end up as well -- It's highly unlikely
the building's going to be posting rent-a-cops all night to make sure
only residents and their guests are walking through. They just want to
have a legal standing to chase away anyone who's camping out or
loitering. Still, the sign's there, and I think the map should reflect
it. I'll see how it feels over time, and if the signage changes. For now
I've tagged it as =destination, with the daytime exception. J
