Right. Could the processing of mkgmap:barrier also consider other tags 
that might be set on the node? For example, there could be a shallow 
steel rail on the road side that is trivial to cross for the majority of 
pedestrians. I guess it should be considered as a barrier for bicycles, 
even though it is possible to lift the bicycle over and continue riding.

Currently these two paths are detached from the main road and the end 
nodes are tagged as noexit=yes, which prevents even pedestrian routing:

I think that I should tag the nodes with barrier=something,foot=yes and 
connect the paths to the main road, and expect the routing to only be 
allowed for pedestrians.
