I think it would be useful to have a think about how we might tag
validated definitive ways in addition to the public footpath recognising
that there are potentially 3 different versions of a path:
1) The official published rights of way - say from OS.
2) OSM interpretation of rights of way
If you've got reasonable non-copyright evidence that there's a PROW
across the field, use designation=public_footpath. If there's a path
that people seem to use, use the highway=path tag (or some other
highway tag if you prefer), and maybe a surface tag. You can have a
OSM way with just a

I am on board with the concept and the need to sort out our tagging.
However, your category (1) - the OS version - has nothing official about
it. The OS themselves include a disclaimer on all of their maps so far
as the line of rights of way are concerned. The ONLY official line is
