[Tagging] Difference between man_made=mineshaft (disused=yes) and historic=mine_shaft?

[Justin Tracey]

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic

tl;dr: The historic key is for things that are of historical 
significance, not just things that are disused/abandoned.

The different spellings is unfortunate, but not a huge deal.
