The 'best mapping method' is somewhat subjective. If it were the sole criteria, then we would instantly create documentation to replace lots of the less than ideal tags which have developed and explicitly depreciate either the classic (highway=footway/bridleway/cycleway) or 'alternative' (highway= path, access=*) tagging schemes. We don't because there is no consensus and existing use counts for a lot.
If there is genuine consensus upon a better way then perhaps this should be documented. In the absence of such consensus, documenting how we actually currently map is preferable (because it is already prevalent and verifiable) to not documentating or documenting one school of thought on how we ought to map (but don't yet).
