If it's highway=residential, then I think footways should be assumed anyway.


On the unclassified road (the High St), you probably need to specify or
draw. I think that including tags on the main way is better, since otherwise
you have to associate them in some way (or do a stack of pre-processing to
associate them). Rendering in the casing on one side of the road is only in
the "should be possible in Mapnik" category at the moment.

I'd go for footway=yes or footway:left=yes or footway:right=yes.
