This is just a draft. It should be marked as abandoned, as you have not made
an RFC for 4 years.

no, you are misguided, the documentation might be at draft level, but the tag is well established (3178 times used in this moment).

<pre>The OSM 'status' is applied to the documentation of tags. </pre>
<pre>Tags have no 'status' value within OSM. The number of times a tag is used is not a good guide to the usefullness of the tag nor the world wide population of the feature. </pre>
<pre>My thoughts ...
There would be many many more tombs in the world than the mear 3,178 tags in OSM.
There are about graves 1,000,000 in one local cemetery <span class="wrc13 wrc_injected" style="padding-right:16px; width: 20px; height: 20px; position: absolute"></span>near me. And some of those would be tombs.
However unlike highways .. not all tombs nor graves may be worth mapping?
I think it is not 'well established' but at a simple 'experimental' level. </pre>
<pre>
4 years... as a proposal looks like a long time. But there has been activity over the time .. last in October 2014... so still under 'development'.
I think that it is at a 'draft' status still ... but active ... just.
I note that the photo for tomb=war_grave shows graves not tomb/s. </pre>
