+1 on this...I also think highway should just describe the physical way
so probably just:
highway=path|track|road
With the rest of the stuff split out:
classification=motorway|uk_primary|uk_secondary|residential|etc...
legal_status=uk_footpath|uk_bridleway|permissive|etc....
surface=paved|unpaved|etc...
foot=dedicated|shared|no
bicycle=dedicated|shared|no
motorcar=yes|no|destination|etc...
I think it would make it easier for newbies to just map what they
physically see on the ground and also make the data less UK-centric.

This seems to be the opposite from your previous point adding more
rights info to the highway tag.
