I'm not very familiar with Reading, but generally if I am adding detail to any area of mapping, I will draw in pavements and pedestrian crossings as seperate 'ways'. Quite often that's because there's a particular signposted walking/hiking route that I'm tagging, and it's a bit daft to tag these as going down the middle of a road (particularly busy main road junctions, where there's usualy a particular set of crossing walkers need to use). It's also comes up when mapping cycle routes, which can often involve 'shared pavements'. But more generally, I don't think maps should just be for car drivers :)
