I'm wondering if there's any benefit in mapping "paper streets" -
streets that have been officially dedicated to the government by the
former landowner but that have not (yet) been constructed. For
example, they may explain a truncated grid
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.39687&lon=-81.50172&zoom=17&layers=M)
or two disconnected streets having the same name, and they are often
used in legal land descriptions.

Some of these qualify for highway=proposed. But if there are no
current plans to build them, would it be a good idea to map them as
(for example) highway=paper name=*?
