The Australian Tagging Guidelines currently say that for bush walking
tracks: "Tag these highway=footway. and for track sections along fire
trails, highway=track is appropriate."
Shouldn't these be highway=path; foot=yes, rather than
highway=footway? The wiki page of the former says "It is also used for
hiking trails", whereas the latter says "for designated footpaths,
i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians."
Calling a bush walking track a "designated footpath" doesn't sound
exactly right, nor does calling a bushwalker a "pedestrian".
Thoughts?
