Just a quick thing I noticed – the main tagging page says not to use do not use <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway= <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dfootway> footway and the preference is <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway> highway= <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath> path, but the walking track page mentions that tag regularly – what is the differentiation?

I actually favour deletion as well but understand that is not the 'OSM way of doing things'. A full discussion may help the agency, and OSM contributors understand the issues on both sides. I also think it would be useful for others to join in the US trails group so that a more international perspective can be applied to this issue. The situation can be very different across countries (especially legally). Inspired by the US trails group work, I thought maybe we can attempt something localised for Australia. I started sketching something out at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australia/Walking_Tracks. If anyone thinks this is a good idea, please feel free to contribute to that page.
