When to use footway, when to use path?

Dear OpenStreetMap,

I've been mapping paths on walks in the countryside. I've noticed that most already mapped paths seem to be pretty arbitrarily split between highway=path and highway=footway. So far I've been setting footway for "maintained/good quality" paths, and just path for smaller ones. Which is correct?
