I would consider all the existing tagging as of suspect
interpretation. For example, foot=yes is almost entirely meaningless
as "right of pedestrian access enshrined in law" since it's been added
by default to every highway=footway in potlatch for some time.

But then again, it's a wiki, so all the data will always be of
"suspect interpretation" to a greater or lesser extent :-)
