Yeah, Matt already provides special maps for cyclists, where all roads are rendered on Garmins as the thinnest possible line, but bike paths are thicker. http://www.osmaustralia.org/downloads.php Anyway, I think Roy is right - it's fine to map footpaths, but they should be distinguishable from other walking paths so they don't clutter up GPSes. I'd be tempted by the americanism "sidewalk=yes" in addition to "highway=footway".
