[Tagging] How to tag recreational route with multiple route types?

[Dave F]

"named paths" are not route relations.

The physical path can have a name & have numerous route relations run 
over it.
A route relation isn't required to indicate that a certain transport 
mode is designated.

The correct tagging:
highway= footway/cycleway/bridleway etc
surface=*
foot= yes/no/designated
bicycle= yes/no/designated
horse= yes/no/designated
etc

Then add any officially authorized route relations to this way.
