However this off-topic illustrates one point: topic map are good to show
topical features: you can fill bugs that the maintainer will have a
pleasure to fix :)
Andy, you are well placed to know that rendering a particular topic well
requires a good understanding of the tagging scheme, but also the habits
of those contributors mapping this particular interest of them.
I'm not sure a map showing everything is a solution today, and even less
sure somebody could find a sustained interest in maintaining one.
Also, tools like Overpass or Umap now make things easier.

I'd have suggested that (in fact it's the first place I looked), had
any of the renderings there been at all useful. There do seem to have
been some odd choices in terms of what gets rendered and what
doesn't. Here's an area not far from me that shows the problem:
http://www.openrailwaymap.org/?lang=en&lat=53.18464174858166&lon=-1.3017082214355469&zoom=13&style=standard
That doesn't mean that openrailwaymap is "wrong"; just that it's not a
solution to this particular problem.
And of course, my original question was not just about railways; that
was just an example.
Cheers,
Andy
