designation=public_footpath has, from what I can make out, largely replaced its "deprecated" (maybe a bit strong a term) predecessor foot=designated. General current practice appears to be to use designation (less ambiguous as you say, and less tags needed to describe the different ROW types). Agree absolutely *it should only be used if you know for sure it's a right of way, or it appears to be beyond all reasonable doubt*.
