That might be one special case of trailblazing, but is not reflected by 
the description of the tag. The tag is used to describe if there is any 
kind of trailblazing, independent of the visibility of the way and the 
kind of markers used. In particular, there is trailblazed=symbols which 
needs one of the "symbol" tags for further description.
