[OSM-talk] UK Rights of Way -- Tagging consistency

Noticed that a number of the ways I've created in the Petersfield area have, 
during conversion from the 'class' scheme to the 'Map Features' scheme, been 
labelled with tag combinations which confuse the rendering in Freemap and 
osmeditor2. For the sake of consistency it might be a good idea to agree on a 
common set of Map Features tags for UK rights of way.

I suggest (comments welcome....)

Public footpath: foot=yes; highway=footway
Public bridleway: foot=yes; horse=yes; bicycle=yes; highway=bridleway
Public byway: foot=yes; horse=yes; bicycle=yes; motorcar=yes; 
highway=unsurfaced
Permissive footpath: foot=permissive; highway=footway
Permissive bridleway: foot=permissive; horse=permissive; [bicycle=permissive 
if applicable]; highway=bridleway
