In my area, sidewalks are most certainly NOT the norm. There are very few of them, and where they are present they are typically separated from the road by a boulevard. Other areas of my city have sidewalks that are right up against the roads. I can see the merit of representing sidewalks that are right up against the road by using an attribute on the road. However for sidewalks separated from the road by a boulevard I'd think it makes more sense to draw them in as separate paths. Just my 2c.
