Personally, I think it's fair to the author, descendants and readers of the future, for international copyright to be death of the author+50 whether or not the work was published during the author's lifetime.

Unattributed works should be copyright from the estimated time of authorship+70 which would more or less amount to the same time as a work of known authorship.

That's my pennyworth!
