We definitely shouldn't be doing this! Even for tagging "proposed"
routes I've always assumed that it should be "proposed by someone with
the authority to create it" - e.g. Sustrans' proposed national cycle
network routes, or a local authorities proposal for a local network -
i.e. not merely "proposed" by a campaign group. If there are routes in
OSM that are neither signed nor likely to be created, then such
wistful routes should be tagged, if at all, as something completely
different.
