Hi Mateusz,

It seems this tag is a combination of waterway=canal and disused=yes.

I'm not so in favor of such value (derelict_canal). There are two different information in one value.

I think that 'disused=yes' is a dangerous tag and should be avoided.

Suppose someone uses foo=bar + disused=yes. Someone else searches for foo=bar, he will find the objects with and without disused=yes. If he doesn't notice he will treat the disused the same as the active objects. It means every time anyone searches for or selects anything he must also select not(disused=yes). Using a different style of tag (e.g. disused:foo=bar) avoids this problem as foo=bar is quite different from disused:foo=bar.
