I only added it because it was already; 1. In use: see http://etricceline.de/osm/Great_britain/En/tagstats_highway=byway.htm 2. Rendered on both Mapnik and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, it was already documented on the wiki here; http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/UK_public_rights_of_way If it's already in reasonably widespread use - and will render, then we should be adding these to Map Features - people are voting by using the tags.
