Good idea! These services are expanding here in Germany, too.

That would seem like a rather odd idea. Why would a bear be stored in a box, 
and even more so at a camping site?

I find "bear box" a pretty instructive term. More generic terms don't seem to 
catch the idea of protecting food from animals quite as well. The boxes were 
developed against bears and thus got their named. Also, from my Jack London 
influenced imagination, I immediately understood what we're talking about here. 
Thus, I'd go for "bear box=yes/no", even in areas where there are no bears.

First, thanks for all the effort put into "StreetComplete". I really like the 
app and frequently use it.

Concerning the new task, I think the rationale to explicitly map highways that 
are actually accessible to pedestrians is laudable. But the approach chosen 
here may be inaccurate as it mixes the legal and the physical realities. The 
legal situation is already represented by the default OSM setting, considering 
all highways as "foot=yes" except some like motorways or those explicitly 
marked as "foot=no".

Although walking on a street may be allowed, it may however be unpleasant or 
even unsafe to really do so. But this physical reality should, IMHO, be 
reflected in a separate (afaik still non-existant) tag, like "walkable=1-3" or 
so. This could then be taken into account by routers when calculating 
alternative routes between to points. But that certainly goes beyond this 
thread.

I would, in consequence, support the deactivation of the task in its current 
form.
