PS:
Paragraph 5:
"Where existing tags are causing misinterpretation between mappers or
mistranslations between communities, that's usually a cause for documentation,
and occaisionally a cause for changing tags. landuse=farm was a great example,
where using farmland and farmyard not only help english-speaking contributors,
but also causes less confusion when translated.”
This is the issue with footway and path. "path" in OSM and “path" in some
regions of the world mean entire separate things. and OSM's definition of path
is quite wide. It’s like having “highway=primary” and “highway=main”.
