[OSM-talk] how to map this? cycleway or footpath?

[Mike Collinson]

highway=cycleway
foot=yes
cycleway=separated (not a Map Features value)

I acknowledge a personal bias towards mapping for cyclists, others will disagree. My rationale is: As a cyclist, I am looking for cycleways on the map. As a pedestrian, I'd like to know if I can got for a nice quiet meander (footway) or risk me or my kids being mown down by my lunatic alter-ego on a bicycle (cycleway). 

Where there is no separate lane for cyclists and pedestrians: 

highway=cycleway
foot=yes
cycleway=shared (not a Map Features value)

Similar rationale, both cyclists and pedestrians need to take more care.
