We had a thread about it on talk-gb which I think concluded it would  
have been better designated as the WTF420.

It's not quite a 1:1 mapping - a UK bridleway also means "cycles  
permitted by right" and a whole host of other stuff, so it's a  
valuable piece of information in itself.

By all means tag the individual users (horse=yes, bicycle=yes, etc.),  
but I'd consider the official bridleway status a useful, taggable fact  
in itself.
