For the record, at the moment the mapnik layer does not render railway=dismantled. It does render railway=abandoned or =disused but ONLY if there is NO associated highway tag. Thus abandoned railway turned into a cycleway will show as the latter, but will show as abandoned railway where it is not, eg: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.8927&lon=-0.5832&zoom=13&layers=B00 0FTF In my view it is useful to also tag stuff as railway=abandoned ion that way.

I hadn't thought of it before, but that sounds like a good idea. There are a lot of cycleways near me that used to be railways. Currently they're just tagged with highway=cycleway, what would you suggest I add? I note that Map Features says that railway=abandoned (which would have been my first choice) is "not to be used if the feature has been turned into another use, eg cycleway."
