Collapsing the two tags into one seems reasonable, but there should continue to be a wiki page for whichever tag is discontinued, in order to direct people to the preferred tag. "Sidewalk" is the standard term in the USA; from my reading, both "pavement" and "footway" seem to be standard usage in the UK. I don't know what the standard terms are in other English-speaking countries.
-------Original Email------- Subject :[Tagging] Sidewalks vs Footways >From :mailto:emac...@gmail.com Date :Thu Mar 17 09:15:48 America/Chicago 2011 There's an abandoned tag for sidewalks along the side of the road that apparently has some use in the UK: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Footway http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Great_britain/En/tags.html And there's a nearly identical tag proposal called Sidewalk: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sidewalk I'd like to suggest collapsing these two tags into a unified tag and making a final vote, and then fixing tags as necessary.
