I can think of one non-existent road in the database that I've left  
in. It is a residential street added by someone else with Bing,  
however the street no longer exists (the area has had several  
modifications since the Bing photography). Rather than delete the  
street I have left the way in place (obviously removing the highway=  
tags) with a note that it no longer exists.
