>> If foot is not depreciated, why has foot another color in de OSM wiki,

>> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Route#Walking_routes_.28also_hiking_and_pilgrimage.29and all other pages? Why will Potlach preset are always hiking?

>> I think is not a good idea to use 2 possible tags, because its confusing.

>>> So, two argument to change it to hiking in the Belgian wiki:

>>> If we reach a consensus on the list, we can change it in the Belgian

>>> 'foot' convention.
