because not all such paths are for foot or bicycle, and
highway=footway+foot=no is not a good way to do it. (same for
highway=cycleway+bicycle=no)

And calling something a footway implicitly puts foot above the other
uses, even though this may not be the case in reality.  The "designated"
access value helps with this though.
