If it's a sub-tag of an existing entity, then I see no problem in adding 
it.

railway=abandoned is a primary tag, so, unlike a historical tag it can 
(but shouldn't) be used to map something that no longer exists (such as 
non existing railways through new housing estates.

This is one reason I believe linear ways tagged as man_made=bridge 
should be rendered:
man_made=bridge
bridge=*
historical=railway
