I favor railway=abandoned and then if necessary specialize from there.
The point about data consumers not knowing about new tags and therefore
building a semantic hierarchy to optimize for sensible behavior is a
strong one.
having thought about this on the drive home to NY from Manassas,
i'm going to suggest an
abandoned=
subtag for railway=abandoned
this could be something like
abandoned=<date>:<qualifiers>
e.g.
abandoned=1859:before_completion
abandoned=:before_completion
abandoned=1958
or something else. suggestions?
since abandoned seems to be preferred in any case, i'll plan on editing
the wiki entry for railway=abandoned to include railways that were never
completed.
