Hello Richard, (and others?)

A couple of Potlatch suggestions for footpaths etc - what do you think?

1. Would be good to colour all types of path differently according to 
precisely what they are (as in JOSM mappaint for example) e.g. footpaths 
green, bridleways brown, byways red.

2. Would suggest the following for footpath presets:

"public footpath" => (highway footway, foot yes)
"public bridleway" => (highway bridleway,foot yes, horse yes, bicycle yes)
"byway" => (highway byway, foot yes, horse yes, bicycle yes, motorcar yes)
"restricted byway" => as for byway but motorcar=no
"permissive footpath" => (highway footway, foot permisive)
"permissive bridleway" => (highway bridleway, foot permissive, horse 
permissive)
"path" => (highway footway) - intended for paths where it's not known if it's 
public or permissive
