How so? highway=proposed sounds like the very definition of a “paper 
street”.  Until construction has been started (highway=construction) 
there will be no physical evidence of it.

Whether or not we’re interested in documenting what’s not on the ground 
is an entirely different question, but if we’re going to map 
proposed/paper streets at all, highway=proposed sounds entirely appropriate.

Of course, at some point a proposal may die and there’s no need to 
indicate on the map where a road is *no longer* proposed.
