I agree that splitting way and having short section as footway is also correct tagging and 
making data processing easier for router.

Though harder for other data consumers, for example detecting
of places where bicycle crossing should be created would be significantly harder.

But many highway=crossing bicycle=no exists and OSM Wiki should document that also this
tagging scheme is used and what is its meaning as used by mappers.

What kind of tagging should be recommended/deprecated is a separate issue.
