I agree, but we have a practical problem with people that think that this:

cannot be tagged the same as this:

People look at the first photo as a little street, not as a footway. It
also probably has a name xx street.
Both are really footways, but the resemblance ends there. I think adding
footway=alley to the first one would make sense to people, and maybe then
they will stop with wrong tagging.
