I see, for the example business park, the access=destination tag makes a lot 
of sense. 

For tracks I never got a special permission in areas where I would need a map 
or even routing. So doing routing over tracks would have been useless for me 
for far...
For my personal usecase, my preference preference would be to have a tag which 
tells motorcars are not allowed (motorcar=no ?) and gosmore would route me 
closest to the clicked position on "allowed" ways and the rest by foot (or 
optimize travelling time). Not sure what others see as their typical usecase 
though....

Thanks,
Rainer
