[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Historic

[Peter Neale]

IMHO "historic" should not be a primary key at all.  Many ruins and memorials are "of historic interest" it is true, but that could be tagged as a property ("historic=yes") of the object "man_made=<object_name>" .
What about a modern memorial?  Can that be "of historic interest", if it is only 2 years old?  it might still be of interest in 100 years time, but it might be forgotten by then.
What about a house?  Mine (built in 2000) is almost certainly NOT "of historic interest", but what about older houses, still occupied as residences, which were previously occupied by some famous person?  They probably ARE "of historic initerest", but they are still a  "building=house".
However, I fear that the (mis) use of "historic=" is so endemic that I am <rude> pi**ing into the wind </rude> if I try to change it.

so the value to approved a facto key is "don't approve
those problematic keys"

but imho a memorial "are of historic interest" for sure !
