Steve,

I'd like to discuss your modification of the tagging (reverting access=permissive to access=no). I've been reviewing the 'map what's on the ground' recommendations by OSM and, from my understanding, access=permissive is exactly what we've got: a landowner that passively accepts what's going on (and has done for many years!) but who still retains the right to revoke the implicit permission this passive acceptance implies.
