back in the 1960s, there were a bunch of proposals for motorways
in the Albany, NY area that were never built (for good reason). a mapper
added those as proposed maybe two years ago, which wasn't good
because the default mapnik stylesheet renders them.

i changed them to highway:unbuilt, rather than deleting them so
that they would stop rendering and wouldn't get added back in later.

some sort of generic tagging for such situations would be nice.
