Those tags are for things that are still there, if what remains is still 
identifiable as a building/railway/road/bridge then that should be 
mapped in OSM.


Historic things should be mapped into OHM, even if they are no longer 
there or still remain ( a start and end date are usefull in OHM as a 
date slider can be used to revel what is there at that date).
