In an ideal world, probably, but Jason's question is how a
hiking-specific renderer should behave in the world we are in.

That's really unlikely to get a truly useful answer.

The current datalayer has access codes:

  Y - Yes (open to public)
  N - No (not open to public)
  L - Limited (membership only)
  X - Unknown

I would suggest picking a few and figuring out their real status, and
see if this code's meaning can be reconstructed.

I would tend to private.  permissive is more of an affirmative statement
that the landowner is known not to object.
