Is there any available documentation on current best practices for this then? Regarding sidewalk naming, the wiki seems to suggest benefits and downsides to both doing it and not doing it before ending with “There is no consensus on whether this is necessary, and regional customs differ”…which I suppose makes a degree of sense, but is not the most helpful advice.

I care a lot about offering good local routing for pedestrians, so the more I can learn about this the better.

Thanks for the clear explanation! I learned a few new tricks from this.
