highway=track
railway=abandoned
Which tag takes rendering preference? How is the renderer meant to know?
exactly how do you say we should tag a highway that
used to be a railway if NOT the above pair?
Why not make it clear to the renderer & use a sub tag as an attribute
of the primary track, which is the entity that actually exists on the
ground.
Railway & highway are to conflicting primary tags.
If there was no evidence (detritus doesn't count) then I wouldn't map it
at all.
OSM is a database of existing entities.
