I don't think we want or need an mtb= tag.
Even though we don't need a path=mtb tag, I'd be OK with it. It would
be a shortcut instead of adding some of the other tags. I don't think
routers for cycle touring should rely on this though.
I live in a popular mtb location (Colorado, USA), and I don't think I've
come across an mtb=* way. My tag searching skills are weak, but on
taginfo it looks like very few instances of this tag in the rocky mtns,
quite a few in Europe.
