I think mapping the path explicitly is perfectly reasonable if it is 
(for at least some of its length) separated from the road by a 
non-trivial distance (say more than a couple of feet of grass).

I agree that managing the transitions between such explicit paths and 
implicit sidewalk tagged sections is clunky!
