I have had problems with this rather literal interpretation of disused. I have tagged certain quarries as 'disused' because stone is no longer being harvested. But those quarries are still quarries, are still major features on the landscape with 100s of metres of quarry faces, and massive spill heaps. People do walk there, and sometimes there is informal rock climbing in some of them, but they are not in proper use for any other purpose: they are quarries. Yet some people object to them being rendered on the basis of the superficial contradiction that you highlight. Maybe we need a tag=out_of_use or some such? But that is open to the same literal objection. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
