I'm sure everyone has different criteria, but I generally use footway if 
it's not a separate right-of-way (meaning it's either a path in a larger 
property such as a park, or a sidewalk). highway=pedestrian to me is 
something that "looks like a street" (or a 'mini-street'). One problem 
is that this covers both 'normal' streets and alleys, which are tagged 
differently when open to cars.
