RIght.  I dislike disused=yes´ because the mapped object still is
_something_. It's disused for a particular purpose.  If we're limited
to disused=yes or abandoned=yes, then what would be the correct
tagging for an object that I would tag as 'abandoned:railway=rail
highway=footway', or 'abandoned:waterway=canal
abandoned:bridge=aqueduct highway=unclassified bridge=yes'? (I've used
both combinations.)  For the former, the rails aren't there, but the
grade is, and part of the official rationale for maintaining the trail
is that the right of way will be available if there's ever a reason to
lay rail again.  For the latter, the bridge is still there, from its
construction was clearly once a canal aqueduct, but today serves as a
road bridge. (Most of the rest of the canal that it served is silted
up and no longer navigable, but still very, very wet.)

I've also mapped things like 'disused:amenity=prison
landuse=brownfield' for a now-closed prison that the state is trying
to find a buyer to redevelop. The buildings are still standing (and I
understand are for the most part structurally sound), but what would a
buyer do with them?
