It's a grey area. A disused building is still a building. An abandoned
building may be a pile of debris that's recognizable as having once
been a building. I tend to favor retaining building=yes and having
disused:amenity=toilets (or pub, or whatever), for the evil and sinful
reason that buildings render and disused:buildings don't. (It's
tagging for the renderer in the strictest sense, but I happen to think
that the worse evil is 'lying to the renderer', and here I'm telling
the truth in a particular way so that the renderer will understand
me.)
