... or use a source tag to make it clear where it's come from and that a 
ground survey hasn't been done there?  I'm sure that there'll be places 
where a right of way does one thing and the path on the ground another.

Just last night I found a designated bridleway (also explicitly signed 
for cyclists at one end) that from point A goes into a field of barley 
to the field boundary, then left for a similar distance to point B, 
rather than using an existing gravel track that goes direct from A to 
B.  Clearly everyone (excepting the odd pedant) uses the gravel track, 
but it's not where the sign points.  I'll add both when I add them, but 
it'll be the mostly unused one that gets the "designation" added.

In some parts of the country you could put the difference between 
council data and a path in OSM as "less than accurate" path recording in 
OSM, but thanks to Andy and Nick in Hampshire I don't think that's 
likely to be the case much there.

Cheers,
A different Andy
