[Tagging] [Talk-us] Rails with trails

[Masi Master]

Hi,
Some month ago I tried to start a proposal for rail-trails:  
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/rail_trail
I startet it with 'rail_trail=yes', but on talk-page some are against  
this, because highway=cycleway/footway + railway=abandoned are enough.
Now it propose only the possible rendering.

P.S.: I think I can't send it to: [Talk-us]
