> I am trying to make lit=yes/no definition more precise I think that your suggestions would make the definition actually less precise because they add a fair level of subjectiveness: "necessary to bring your own light"
The least subjective definition is to map the physical presence of street lanterns on the way, not the light they emit. (This definition (though) would mean that a footway close to a lit street would be mapped as unlit as long as it does not have own lanterns.)
