yes, paths are non-motor vehicles.  This is not to say it isn't possible to
drive motor vehicles on it, just not designed for it or in common use.
Basically only for servicing or emergences.
I wasn't thinking about that one when I wrote the lase e-mail.

As for tracks having addresses or names, I would probably push to use
highway=unclasified instead of track.  Or even rethink it as residential or
service if they fit better and add other tags like surface to match reality.

I added this to the bottom of the very long
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:United_States_roads_tagging for now.
