Well... 2 and 3 aren't wrong in England and Wales...
However, I hesitate to say "therefore 1 is wrong" because this could just be a local convention that deviates from the global norm due to the uniqueness of our "public rights of way".
Cheers.

> Just to note that in England and Wales, foot=designated has a very specific meaning. It is used for public rights of way which have an explicit legal provision for access (higher than simply foot=yes). See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom#Public_Rights_of_Way
But if highway=footway implies foot=designated (as the side box of the Wiki entry at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dfootway) currently states, then adding foot=designated is redundant by definition!
At least one of the following statements must be wrong:
1. highway=footway implies foot=designated.
2. foot=designated is used in England and Wales to indicate a public right of way.
3. highway=footway can be used to map things in England and Wales which are not public rights of way.
Which one is it?
