But these are basically "legal rules" you may find somewhere. I am fine
with that. I am not fine with guesswork. 

        "I think the owner allows bicycles but not cars" 

without any hint of this really beeing the case. You'll open up
a huge can of worms if suddenly access tags are not reliable but
some Jo mappers guesswork.

I had the phrasing in our German discussion already. In routing
you are either

Allowed to use a way
Not allowed to use the way
Allowed to use the way at the tail/head of a route

What is access=private? And if you answer "it depends" - On what
does it depend and how does the software know? And how does the
software distinguish between ways in a nuclear power plant and
a driveway?

access=private is mostly excluded for everything for good reasons. 

For a driveway marking it as service/driveway is everything you need.
It has penaltys so its basically the same as destination. If you add
a private to a driveway you change the routing availability
from destination to no.

And i dont think this is what most owners of a driveway would expect.
If they dont want people on their driveway by all means the'll put up
signs or barriers which is common in some areas of the world.

I definitly would be angry if some random mapper adds a access=private
to my 1.5km driveway (Which i have) because i want people to be able
to reach my house. I had this and it caused 15km+ diverts for people
relying on OSM.
