[Tagging] How to Tag Steps in a Bridleway

[Jens Glad Balchen]

Generally speaking, how do we reconcile these two?

bicycle=yes
highway=steps

What is a data consumer supposed to infer from this as opposed to just 
highway=steps? As long as foot=designated, aren't cyclists always 
allowed to get off the bike and push/carry it? And wouldn't they have to 
when there are steps?
