I have changed the wiki article to mention this. However
most of the<br>
current use of "historic:*" seems to be for other purposes
so it is easily<br>
a bit confusing.<br>
For your kind of use the "date namespace" may be an
alternative.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>If I had any idea when the schools went out of service!
I'm really<br>
</div>
<div>not up to doing the historic research; they've not been
schools<br>
</div>
<div>in my memory (and I'm an old man). <br>

Does OSM record the past? Or does it record the present - 'what is
on the ground' ? <br>
<br>
I think it is a case for OHM ... record it there as a school - best
estimates of dates with a fixme for those that want it more
accurate?<br>

In OSM .. put it in as a comment? <br>
I think it is a detail that does not require rendering. <br>
Think that is possibly the best solution?<br>
