[Talk-us] Sidewalks as footpaths

Is there a general OSM policy on marking sidewalks as highway=footway?
User dolphinling appears to have gone crazy in downtown Burlington,VT
tracing the sidewalks and calling them footways. Which wouldn't be a
problem if footways weren't so cartographically distinct in everyone's
stylesheets:

Should I:

1. Revert
2. Get in touch with the editor
3. Get over it

Thanks!
