A proposal like this comes along every few years & never really gets off
the ground. "Long hiking & cycling routes" by their nature of being long
are rarely traversed completely; people hop on-off of them in short
sections. So a "systematic survey" is highly unlikely.
Most of what's been listed here I would describe as every day mapping.
I'm unsure what benefit adding another tag, which will soon be
inaccurate, will bring.
There are a few validation tools to keep an eye on the integrity of
relations:
http://ra.osmsurround.org/
https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/
http://overpass-turbo.eu/
Can anyone recommend some others?
Historic GPX traces remain relevant. Individually they are not that
accurate. Having a collection allows a mapper to iron out inaccuracies &
estimate a mean average route.
If you want to register a path being physically non navigable, an email
to the authority responsible produces better results than marking it in OSM.
