But as you also include "permanent physical manifestations of those" this must somehow be limited. If my neighbour went everyday at the same spot walking her dog, crossing a lawn and thereby creating a small path, the result is something I would want to map. As long as I don't tell anybody that it was my neighbour walking her dog creating the informal path, there should not be a problem.

But they are not public and the public is not interacting with them "on a larger scale", this is what I wanted to point out. Cheers Martin
