Excellent stuff. I much prefer that these discussions are based on
real life situations than hypotheticals.

I'd tag every one of those as highway=cycleway on a separate way, if I
had the time and the patience. If I was busy, I would see
cycleway=track as being a stop-gap, and someone else could model them
as separate ways when they had the time (in the same way that there's
nothing wrong with a parking node when you can't/don't want to draw
the area in full).

If, however, someone came along and removed my separate ways and added
cycleway=track to the road I would be very cross!

Cheers,
Andy
