Hi Hans,
that was my thought as well. I assume I have to check all the suspicious entries that
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/highway#values
shows. The data is a bit out-aged now (2015-10-14 23:58 UTC)
as I am constantly cleaning up but I think 842 different highway=* tags
are far too many, both for consumers and for newbies.

Thanks for the examples, i definitely disagree with both examples. Makes no sense to have those at all to me. In my opinion they need to be reverted/deleted.
Regards,
Hans

Example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/5987185
which is just the first best from 130 "highway=unbuilt" ways,
Its history shows that it was imported in 2007.
Just a few m south is another one:
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/199739291>http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/199739291
which doesn't have a long history but seems to be
exactly like it.

Purpose of such objects is to ensure that armchair mappers will not
remap it again. Object with note=* seem better than highway=neverbuilt.
In case of low risk of remapping by armachair mappers such ways may be
safely deleted.
