If you say it is a not being any more thing, it will likely remain like this. If you say it used to be a thing until date, then it is the a=foo, end_date=date tagging style.<br></div><div><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div id=":1hi" class="a3s" style="overflow:hidden">The only state that you can keep<br>
forever is the state of not being. To me, "dismantled" as used in OSM<br>
rails is a much stronger definition than "dismantled legos", it is a<br>
synonym for "fully gone". </div></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>I agree. <br><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div id=":1hi" class="a3s" style="overflow:hidden">Saying that something is "fully gone in the<br>
