While most instances of sidewalk=separate would probably be better as sidewalk:both=separate, I am a little dubious about doing this as an automated edit. It usually needs checking with aerial imagery.
Using sidewalk:both=separate on many streets with oneway=yes, particularly dual carriageways and links at complex junctions may be incorrect, as these are more likely to be sidewalk:left=separate + sidewalk:right=no

mm you're right, there is a semantic difference between the two 👍️ have reverted in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/144412884
i highly recommend changing the bare sidewalk= tags to sidewalk:*= in your area though :)

Thanks! I usually do update the sidewalk tags to sidewalk:$side=separate when I come across them in the course of doing other edits. I wonder if it's the sort of think which would work as a Maproulette project?

Just a quick update on this - I'm working through Greater London a borough at a time and replacing sidewalk=separate and sidewalk=none. So far, Newham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Westminster and the City should be complete.
At some point, changing cycleway=separate to cycleway:$side=separate might be worth doing. It should also help to fix more of the paid "mapping" done as part of the TfLCID conflation fiasco.
