[Tagging] Railway: Preserved or historic or railway:preserved?

[Dave F]

Hi
I'm confused.

I've a length of railway track that runs along part of a disused line. 
It's not connected to the current network & run purely for tourism.

Both KeepRight & Osmose flag an error for 'railway=preserved' tags:
"This way uses deprecated tag 'railway=preserved'. Please use 
"historic=railway + railway=rail (or whatever type) + 
railway:preserved=yes" instead!"

Apart from those recommendations being listed in reverse order of 
importance, it appears to contradict with a few wiki pages:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railways says 'railway=preserved' is 
still OK to use.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dpreserved says 
'railway=preserved' is not really liked (note: it doesn't mention 
'historic=railway')

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging says 
'railway:preserved' should be used but note it says 'historic=railway' 
"Should be used in conjunction with |railway=disused|, 
|railway=abandoned|, and |railway=razed"| which contradicts 
KeepRight/Osmose.


Any railway experts able to clarify?

Thanks
DaveF
