You're presuming that the inattentive pedistrian will 1) Know that you're
talking to them and 2) Comprehend what you're saying.  I my experience it
doesn't help, but I agree it's a good idea for the few that do get it.

What _would_ help is more signage reminding everyone to keep right unless
passing.

I can't speak for trails, but it seems to me that "Right of Way" for trails
should follow that of roadways: Right of way isn't a right to be assumed,
it's an obligation to be given.
