I'm astonished! As an ordinary mapper I'd assume the "disused=yes" would apply
to anything. In the case of highway it would horrible if a mapper just uses
disused like that. If a powerline is mapped disused nobody would care. IMO a
rule for highways should be in place just if a mapper doesn't look up such
"obvious" things in the wiki.
There are only a few ways which need rendering rules for disused (highway,
waterway, maybe railway). Anything else could be handled be a single rule, e.g.
identical as access=no.
