I've now rechecked these changes and they are all correct - some I initially 
created, but agree with the highway type tagging (previously marked 'byway' is 
really a track), one way I moved it around, and finally one which was initially 
by Nick Austin, but split by Andy Street to correct path->track part - again is 
better tagged this way (i.e. can't delete the tag just to put back in the same 
key+value)

Luckily I didn't put in many odbls, which I was planning to add more with my 
prior (mis)understanding.

I shall be extra vigilant in any future use - if I use it at all.

Happy Friday Night!
