Think of all the residential roads in cities that get a higher class 
tagging because of their function in the road network. They are mostly 
not different from hw=residential in regards to foot=y/n. And also the 
many roads outside built-up areas have mostly no restrictions. Roads 
with separate foot/cycle ways or with sidewalks are the clear minority 
and still are often the only means of traveling by foot. The majority of 
unclassified, tertiary etc. roads is very unlikely to have a foot 
limitation.

I see the problem for those roads and that's why I repeatedly suggested 
to find a narrower filter that indicates a likelihood to be foot=no, 
like tunnel=yes, bridge=yes or oneway=yes. I don't see the highway tag 
as a suitable filter at all.
