This would be a great thing to have. However it doesn't have to be 
limited to walking routes, bus routes could benefit aswell, since 
everyone knows the route their bus takes.

I prefer this approach. My only concern is that when making relations 
and routes, often one needs to split a way. Is there any good UI for 
doing this for someone who doesn't know OSM?
