[OSM-talk] Tracks and there place in society

[Ben Robbins]

Simon: To put it simply.  There is 'can' and there is 'may'.  Places one 'can' go, and places one 'may'.  

I can walk across my neighbours lawn, but I may not.  I may choose to take a footway where I 'can' walk on a track, then take another footway where i 'may' walk where i 'can' on a path.  In OSM track and footway can't coexsist.  

The 'highways' key has a mix of these as well as tags that state both, neither or something completely different.  Likewise for rendering.

Hope that makes sense.
