[talk-au] Highway=path Oz Tag Guideline

[David Clark]

This is what I'd suggest is added to the Australian Tagging Guidelines
wiki if there is no objection. (This is a simplification of what is at
[1]http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface ).

Add to both sections:
* Urban Footpaths and Cycleways
* Bush Walking and Cycling Tracks

---start------------------------

Paths for non-motorised use (highway=footway; highway=path) should
always be tagged with [2]surface given that there is no default for
such paths.

[3]surface=paved is non-specific and covers the specific tags of
sealed, tarmac, asphalt, bitumen, concrete.

[4]surface=unpaved is treated as the opposite of paved, specific tags
are dirt, earth, ground, grass, gravel, metal, sand, wood.

---end------------------------

What do you think?

All the best,
David
