To me, it seems to presuppose an unrealistic amount of cleverness
on the part of the renderer, particularly since 'building:use' is not
a common key at all.

By contrast, adding 'historic' and adjusting tagging to current use
is already a common practice among those who fix repurposed
features from the GNIS import. I didn't invent it.

'disused', 'abandoned', 'demolished', 'ruined', are all preferable
to 'historic' if they're accurate. Sometimes none of them fits.
