[talk-au] Railtrails

[Evan Sebire]

I would have thought that the tag highway=path would be more appropriate.
After that follow what is in the wiki guidelines.  I don't think we should 
necessarily appeal to the majority/minority on a particular path, but describe 
its properties.
I was labelling many hiking paths as footway but have now seen it is better to 
use path and add properties such as horse, bicycle and sac_scale.
