What I'd like to get some idea of is what people as a whole consider 
highway=bridleway on its own(with no foot/horse/etc tags added) to mean - 
do people on the whole consider this to be a public bridleway, or a 
permissive bridleway? On freemap I assume permissive unless foot/horse=yes 
is added, rather like highway=footway is assumed to be permissive (in view 
of the large number of permssive footways in towns).
