abanoned:railway=* (aka lifecycle tagging scheme) competes with the tagging used for non-operational roads (e.g. highway=construction + construction=motorway). OpenRailwayMap currently tries to support tagging scheme and I think that we should not force anyone to move from one tagging scheme to another also it is better in the case of a cycleway or road built on a former railway track (and the road currently being closed due to construction works).
In future (future means many months, not many years), OpenRailwayMap could enforce adding abandoned:railway=* or abandoned=* (and the same for disused, construction etc.) to get the features rendered. We did this already with usage=* (tracks without usage tag get rendered really late) and railway:signal:direction. We just have to inform mappers a while beforehand to prevent to much anger. :-)
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.
