I'm in favor of either of these. While we are discussing this, we should also agree on how to tag bicycle lanes that are unmarked. We have a surprising number of these in my area of the world. They have no signs (I know, they are no longer required to) and no markings within the lanes, but they clearly are intended to be bicycle lanes-they have the dashed pavement approaching intersections, and deviations to the left of right-turn-only lanes. Should these be "cycleway=unmarked_lane", which I believe you have used, or "cycleway=lane, cycleway:marking=unmarked" or "cycleway=lane, marking:cycleway=unmarked"?
