<p>I cocked it up anyway - sending it from a phone as html only, so
I suspect many people (including the list archive) won't see it!

imagery (or even something like Strava*) then someone might
"just add it" without knowing the history. With a DWG hat on
I have many times explained to people why a path that "should
not exist" has been re-added by someone unfamiliar with its
status.</div>

<div name="BB10" id="response_div_spacer_BBPPID" dir="auto"
style="width:100%;">If there is a chance that someone will add
something that shouldn't be there for whatever reason then it
makes sense to ensure that something representing the current
status is mapped. This might be some sort of lifecycle tag
such as "disused:highway=path" or if the thing really does
still exist but is private, some sort of access tag.</div>
