OK, so the bridges in question have rendered correctly in Osmarender, so I will take Thomas' supposition about JOSM and make it my own. (Though I think correct rendering in JOSM would make adding bridges and layer tags more obvious to edit-ers (editors?) ) <http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/4746/okbridgespr5.jpg> However I have encountered something else rather odd. <http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8899/notokbridgesqh7.jpg> I edited the highways to include the bridges after putting in the surface road. However, at the time I did not bother to include a layer tag seeing as there is only the one layer, the bridge, above layer 0 (surface layer). Note how the highways are above the surface road, but the "bridge" designator still renders below the surface road. Rather odd if you ask me, and something I think the renderer should be able to handle without a layer tag. Is this a one-off, or are layer tags essential now? For every road, river, and way? I have since added the layer tags via Potlatch to hopefully make things render correctly. Note: Mapnik has yet to show the changes in this area. Just thought I would add a little closure to the subject. While opening up another can of worms. Thanks for the comments.
