[OSM-talk] Rights of way (was: Vote: highway=path)

>A path with horse,foot,cycle=yes still isn't a bridleway though 

It depends what's meant by "yes" - does it mean official, legal rights? On 
reflection maybe "designated" is better than "yes".

>(e.g.
>on a bridleway, cycles are permitted but the surface doesn't have to
>be suitable for cycling - a situation more complex than just
>cycle=yes).  The legal bridleway has more attributes than just who is
>allowed to travel along it (e.g. races can't be held on bridleways)

One could sort this out though by means of the "surface" tag, and indeed 
any other tags that might be relevant.
