I'm sure there are plenty of counterexamples, but in my experience, all paths allow pedestrians, while only some allow bikes and/or horses.  This renders nicely too: bikes get one color, horses another, foot another.  So put me on Paul's side for this.
if you check out mapnik's rendering, you'll see that it recognizes
the presence of the access tags and does in fact render differently
depending.
