Hi Dave,
The highway=byway tag is deprcated:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbyway
The legal status of UK Rights of Way now belong in the "designation"
tag, and the highway is tagged with an appropriate value (mostly
track, but could be service if part of the route is now a paved road
(e.g. an access driveway to a property along the right of way):

Best,
Rob
Hi Rob
I believe byway shouldn't be deprecated. In my area most of them are
signed as just 'byway' on the ground. There is no indication of their
legal status (BOATs etc), & AFAIA, there is no non copyrighted source
for these. I think many that have been tagged with designation=* have
been sourced from OS data.
Cheers
Dave F.
