i'm thinking maybe we need an agreed upon way of marking these areas so that the usual editors (id, potlatch2, josm) can flag them as places where aerial imagery is out of date.
also, Mike N had suggested highway:disused. instead, maybe something like highway:removed=yes would work. i'd recommend highway:removed over highway=removed because some rendering engines will display a line for highway=removed, but ignore highway:removed because they don't recognize the tag. a local mapper here in Albany had added highway=proposed for a few proposals dating back to the 50s and 60s that will never be built. i changed them to highway=unbuilt, but that didn't make them go away, so they are now all highway:unbuilt=motorway (or whatever.) i left them in so they didn't get put back in using inappropriate tagging. richard
