One could argue that, if they are no longer military featuers, they should not be tagged as mililtary features. "historic=battlefield" does this and we are probably not mapping any current / modern / non-historic battlefields, so ther is not any real conflict. My problem with the whole key of "historic=" is that some other objects, such as memorials, houses, dairies.... might be historic, but might not. So I feel that we should tag the identity and main characteristics of an object and then use "historic=yes" to indicate that it is historic, but not current (If that is the case). In the case of your historic military features, I would assume (I do not run a renderer) that the renderer could (fairly easily ?) have one symbol for a current object and another for an historic one (perhaps the same symbol, but in a different colour?) My point is that beíng historic is an attribute of an object that IS something else (battlefield, memorial, house, dairy...). "historic" is an adjective, not a noun. Regards,Peter(PeterPan99)

Yes, they certainly were, but they aren't any more.
