I have changed the wiki article to mention this. However most of the
current use of "historic:*" seems to be for other purposes so it
is easily
a bit confusing.
For your kind of use the "date namespace" may be an alternative.
If I had any idea when the schools went out of service! I'm really
not up to doing the historic research; they've not been schools
in my memory (and I'm an old man).
Does OSM record the past? Or does it record the present - 'what is on
the ground' ?
I think it is a case for OHM ... record it there as a school - best
estimates of dates with a fixme for those that want it more accurate?
I was mostly trying to clean up no-longer-schools
that came in from the GNIS import, and didn't want them to be
deleted altogether when they're still visible on the ground.
In OSM .. put it in as a comment?
I think it is a detail that does not require rendering.
Think that is possibly the best solution?
