Evin - a footway would not affect our routing results as those would
only include ways navigable by motorized vehicles. Or perhaps I am not
understanding what you did.  Clifford - this would hopefully also
answer your question about walking routing: currently, we don't.)

Clifford, as for distinguishing between passenger-only ferries - that
would be something that would ideally be regulated with access tags,
do you agree?
So a an access road to a car ferry could then be:
highway=service
service=ferry

and the ferry itself could then be:
route=ferry
ref=...
foot=yes
motorcar=yes
motorcycle=yes
bicycle=yes

What we haven't covered is implied access for ferries. My best guess
would be that foot=yes could be implied (i.e. only if there is no
pedestrian access would we tag foot=no, and foot=yes would be
optional).
