[Tagging] Was there every a proposal for the disused:key=* / abandoned:key=* lifecycle prefixes?

Somewhat off the topic of  'was there a proposal for' .. but follow the 
distorted thread..

disused:*=* means it cannot presently be used for its intended purpose. 
That does not mean it does not exist. How renders chose to display that 
is up to them.
But the tagging is correct and truthful. Choosing another tag because it 
renders the way desired is not a good thing.

For those who  use disused=yes because it renders .. are you equally 
happy to have amenity=toilet rendered when it has disused=yes on it???
How about a pub, atm etc etc...

Renders need to distinguish between active features and those no longer 
in service, but still existing. That is a rendering issue not a tagging 
issue.
