[openrailwaymap] Is "deelectrified" really a good idea?

Similar topic, same issue: Can/Shall the lifecycle tagging scheme also 
be used for nodes?

E.g., near Hamburg Hbf. a node [1] is currently tagged as follows:

> railway:disused=switch
> railway:local_operated=no
> railway:switch=default

I would prefer two additional tags:

> disused:railway=switch
> railway:disused=switch
> railway:local_operated=no
> railway:switch=default
> railway=disused

However, JOSM complains on the usage of "railway=disused" on nodes.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Denis.
