This is what I'd suggest is added to the Australian Tagging Guidelines wiki if there is no objection. (This is a simplification of what is at [1]http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface ).
Add to both sections: * Urban Footpaths and Cycleways * Bush Walking and Cycling Tracks ---start------------------------ Paths for non-motorised use (highway=footway; highway=path) should always be tagged with [2]surface given that there is no default for such paths. [3]surface=paved is non-specific and covers the specific tags of sealed, tarmac, asphalt, bitumen, concrete. [4]surface=unpaved is treated as the opposite of paved, specific tags are dirt, earth, ground, grass, gravel, metal, sand, wood. ---end------------------------ What do you think? All the best, David References 1. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface 2. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface 3. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface 4. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface
