I've frequently wanted to map "the trails that peter out" for exactly the reason you state.

The choices as a mapper seem wrong:
1) Map the trail : thus encouraging use of a flawed route.
2) Don't map the trail. The casual map reader thinks OSM is missing something.


Possible solutions include a node type of "becomes indistinct", or "dead end".
How to mark the way is trickier.
perhaps a new access tag..

access=deprecated
access=not_recommended

something else?
