Remember any classification would need to account for the different style of 
semi-rural and countryside rights of way i.e. footpath, bridleway 
(horse/cycle), cycle path, byway (track accessible to off road vehicles), 
permissive footpath (access at discretion of landowner) etc. In the US they 
only seem to have one - the generic "trail". Actually that's a problem I'm 
finding in the built in standard w	aypoint symbols, they are very US centric. 
I wanted to mark a waypoint for a teashop when out in the New Forest 
yesterday. No such symbol.....

I'm quite keen to keep the XML-RPC data as small and compact as poss as I 
intend my Freemap site to be one of its clients and don't want to slow things 
down too much for users of my site.
