There are a lot more things rendered on the map than are shown in the key. The main goal of the project is to _build_ the map, rather than just _display_ a map so the map on the main page doesn't really get as much attention as it should.
If you are wondering what a particular feature is you can zoom in on it and then look at it in the editor to see the tags on the object. There are also other sites which display data from openstreetmap and do a better job of making a map since that is their main goal.
Our map is created entirely by volunteers, and you are welcome to join in in adding things to the map. If you are interested there are many places to learn how to contribute. We need local mappers all over the world since the best people to map something are the people that actually live there.

I would guess, that you look at a highway/path which is on Mapnik displayed grey dotted. But on Osmarender not dotted and on Cyclemap brown dotted.

From the map on openstreetmap.org, click on the '+' sign (top left) and check the Data Overlay. This will open a side panel listing all the features displayed on the map. Click on the grey dotted line in the map and the side panel will show all the attributes for the line.

To use the data overlay I recommend to zoom in as far as possible :-)
