Thanks Andy, Fully aware of access land, undocumented rights of way and permissive paths. I just need to remember to be careful of what I write on this mailing list (but I was trying not to write an essay).
I'm surprised if this is just England and Wales as I would have thought some other country has some way of documenting paths in a legal context and as such this may be relevant for other countries, but the real question is: "would having some way to show the importance of particular paths/footways (just like roads have a classification) help, and if yes, how should we do this?" So far there is little interest to do this on the OSM default render style which seems odd to me given how much fuss there has been on this list to recent changes to the footway/path style (over the last year)!
