[Tagging] Can highway=cycleway be limited to MTB?

[brad]

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.
