Umm highway=flat_path might be better :) And then there might be a need 
for highway=hill_path ... :))


-----------------------------------------------------

For me highway=footway and highway=path without any other tags are the 
same thing. Introducing yet another tag for similar paths/footways may 
lead to more confused tagging of these things.

I think the use of sub tags would lead to cleaner tagging.
