We have a key "disused" (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused) meant for things like abandoned railways or indefinitely locked car parks. When used as directed the item will disappear from maps and be invisible to rendering software.
I'd like to discuss a tag for things that might need repair (more like what http://seeclickfix.com/ does)/ A way to tag a gate as not really working. Or a water fountain that is still there, but empty. Or a drinking water fountain that sprays you in the face but still delivers water. I've toyed with "stateofrepair" and "stateofrepair:note". Your thoughts? See also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts
