I agree that a renderer should be able to deal with tags like disused=yes. I also agree that disused is widely used, so it cannot reasonably be ignored anymore, and replacing it with an alternative way of tagging probably is no longer an option. However, I believe that using a common key instead of disused/construction/abandoned/...=yes and distinguishing these using different *values* would have been the better alternative. Once applications would have learned about the key, they would have been able to handle new values immediately. I also recommend that, when tags are created in the future, they should be designed so that they can be ignored unless there are important reasons for breaking that rule.
