Yeah, not tagging for the renderers definitely makes sense. All the trails would be foot=designated around here though, so I'll just use footway with bicycle=yes/no and horse=yes/no.
Another semi-related bit about footway vs. pedestrian. There are a lot of pedestrian streets here in Manhattan Beach, California, in all sorts of widths. My thinking was footway for narrow ones, pedestrian for anything wide enough for emergency vehicles. Sound about right?
