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.

Maybe there would be value in deapproving historic=battlefield
I would love to be able to move the vast majority of military= to
historic=military, as they are no longer military installations.
Yes, they certainly were, but they aren't any more.

Many ruins and memorials are "of historic interest" it is true, but that could

That could also be an option, but would that stop them rendering as current
military features?
Thanks
