[OSM-talk] [Tagging] Should we map things that do not exist?

[Colin Smale]

Some features have the opposite problem - you have to be at a certain
altitude/distance to see it, for example due to miniscule height
differences and subtle changes in vegetation. Often long-disused rail
track beds are in this category. Being on the ground may actually be a
disadvantage in these cases.

I think the documentation should be explicit here.
