So, while a tag to denote that a road is rural does not exist (yet), I could 
filter out uninteresting roads using tell-tale tags.

So, I could further filter out roads with..

- lit != yes (so, also if lit is not set) to exclude most of the 
rural/undeveloped roads. For UK, it is not even tell-tale

- motorway, motorroad anyway

- any but paved roads

- perhaps even only oneway roads?? (asking for input here) Because the cases I 
mentioned are in the majority oneway-lanes

- perhaps also only ask for a sidewalk in the first place if the road is tagged 
as lit=yes? Asking for input.

So I just posted another mail at the same time you did. As far as I am concerned roads that are most likely to merit a foot=no are

- all highway road types except tracks and except where foot=no is regionally implied

- where there is no sidewalk

any that have one of:
- bridge=yes
- tunnel=yes
- ford=yes
- oneway=yes
- bicycle=no/private/...
- bicycle_road=yes (?) Not sure if there are countries where a bicycle_road would forbit foot traffic in absence of sidewalks

you could also exclude highways that are part of a hiking route (might be difficult with relations and might overdo it).

lit=* is to fuzzy in my opinion to be useful.
