Access=* denotes the legal position, not the presence or absence of
physical obstacles. Access=permissive is just as wrong as access=private
as a proxy for gate=normally_open etc. Don't tag incorrectly for the
renderer (or router!)
The state of openness can vary more widely: when it is shut, it may or
may not be locked (perhaps you can open it yourself if required) and may
consist of multiple gates with different rules - like one half open to
allow you to leave the premises, but the other half shut; or the big
gate shut to keep vehicles, and a small gate open for pedestrians. In
these cases mapping a single gate is not going to allow the fine-grained
information to be added easily.
