I haven't had time to write on the tag voting document, but I did notice the
for 'private' bridleway pic, I would probably tag this as a highway = service.
This probably more as tag for the render, but in IMHO there's not much
difference between a h=service and h=track,surface=asphalt,(or
tracktype=grade1). The bonus is the service is currently rendered in Mapnik and
Cyclemap etc...
Sometimes I think it would be good if OSMers had more focus on aspects that
*all* the other map providers don't do (especially OS).
As Tom notes above, it's generally impossible even using OS maps to tell if one
would like to take a road bike down a Bridleway. One doesn't really want to
have to keep accessing the OSM data directly for these bits. If A N renderer or
routers showed/considered such detail (as appropriate for eg road bike users,
pram/wheel chair pushers, wheelchair users and various use cases) then it would
be much more powerful.
Also for toilets it is nice to know if they required a fee too!
