[OSM-talk] Proliferation of path vs. footway

Agree here. UK bridleways for instance should have foot=designated; 
horse=designated; bicycle=designated as all three have equal right. It 
would be a mistake to assume the horse rights are greater than 
foot/bicycle; they are not.

I would similarly guess the shared foot/cycleways in Germany would be 
similar, i.e. foot=designated; bicycle=designated.
