*=designated may ban other means of transport (depending on the
jurisdiction) when used with legal access keys. But as i understand it, the
wheelchair key isn't a *legal* access key like vehicle, bicycle or foot,
but indicates *possible* access. Therefore, wheelchair=designates shouldn't
be a problem, but i have to admit that it's imperfect.

Thus, contrary to what i wrote before, for wheelchair routes,
route=wheelchair on the relation and wheelchair=yes on the paths seems
better.
