I would say that depends on the purpose of the map. A map that wants
to show buildings that were used as shop, but are now vacant/disused,
might show them very prominent.
A map showing windmills might show working windmills in black and
disused one in grey or without vanes or ...
it generally depends on the kind of object. Some might merit
rendering, others would better be ignored all together (because
there's very limited space on the map and they will generally not be
worth showing even
if there would be sufficient space). On a general purpose map, a
building is a building, and it doesn't matter whether it is used or
not (and it could be reused any time), as long as it hasn't
deteriorated to a ruin (has significantly changed nature), in which
case a mere "disused" would be not appropriate any more. I am not
saying it isn't interesting to anybody or there won't be subtle
differences between an used and an unused building, just that it isn't
sufficiently significant (IMHO) to merit different treatment.
On the other hand, many amenities, even though they often have a
physical "body", are not useful or interesting to show at all when
they are not in use, e.g. telephone booths, mail boxes, drinking
fountains, generally small items, while bigger items (train stations,
post offices, quarries etc.) are probably significant enough even for
a general purpose map to be shown somehow.
If the thing is still physically present then it is still of use from a
navigation point of view.
From an ease of rendering it would be useful to have a way of rendering
any disused:* object.
