potential update of validator rule: highway=footway & foot=designated

Description

It seems the current validator generates issues when the tag-combination (highway=footway &
foot=designated) takes place.
The warning message is "unnecessary tag - foot=designated is unnecessary for highway=footway"

Example object: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/11344525

In the wiki I found places for a recommendation that both tags (highway=footway &
foot=designated) are okay to put them together on the same (way-)object.

Example wiki pages: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dfootway (first example in table)

Also a German traffic sign tool recommends combination of highway=footway &
foot=designated, see https://osmtools.de/traffic_signs/index.html?signs=239

So we have more than one recommendation for this combination and JOSM has a warning against this combination.

This of course can lead to unwanted edit wars.

So maybe you could consider to remove the JOSM-warning, if it makes sense & if the little bit redundancy isn't a real issue?

Strange, especially in German the difference between footway and path with foot=yes vs. foot=designated should be state on the wiki.

In general, footway implies foot=designated and therefore the warning is correct, though, the message could say a word about "implying" like: {1} is unnecessary for {0} as it is already implied. or {0} implies {1}, therefore, {1} is unnecessary.

Replying to skyper:

Yes, especially there are more and more users of the traffic-sign tool "Verkehrszeichen Tool" (https://osmtools.de/traffic_signs/index.html?signs=239) and this tool gives the recommendation of combination highway=footway & foot=designated as already mentioned above.

Yes, an update of the (warning) message text would be great.

So far i understand, the JOSM validation message system has a setup of 3 categories/levels (errors, warnings and info's) Maybe the this check for combination of highway=footway & foot=designated could be moved from warning-level to info-level?
