It seems we have different ideas about the scope of this proposal,
then. I thought the implication was that in the future, if something
that has been mapped ceases to exist, it should not be deleted, but
appended with an end_date tag, and any new features should be added
and appended with a start_date tag.

This would lead to massive amounts of historic information into the
future - i.e. nothing that has been correctly mapped need ever be
deleted.
