[OHM] tagging for historic race tracks

[Jeff Meyer]

These are great questions to consider - I've asked the same thing about how
to represent historical Tour de France routes on a year by year basis.

I'll defer to others on this list on how to handle, but I did think there
was something similar to bus routes that might be reappropriated for this
type of application (e.g. a use-based set of tags, rather than
feature-based).

Do you want to take stab at figuring out a starting point for tagging
conventions for this stuff & posting it on the wiki? He who writes first
writes best?
