I've been through the wiki but have seen no examples of tagging
contra-flow bus lanes or even much mention.  Cycleways, yes,  but not
for buses.  What is the common practise for them?  These would be fairly
well known features in Europe.  Also, how do people tag time
dependencies that these restrictions usually have?

The (collected) sense of the wiki seems to indicate this:
highway=tertiary
oneway=yes
psv=yes
cycle=yes
taxi=yes
hour_on=07:00
hour_off=19:00
Which seems to be non-nonsensical.

The tagging of time restrictions is so important I would like to 'get it
right' from the outset.  The alternative, the opening_hours key, is a
mess in my opinion.

Lastly, an oddity for light relief.
What does the list recommend for tagging the Transporter bridge in
Middlesbrough?  It is a bridge but operates like a ferry with capacity,
fee, transit time, timetable (not always kept to) and weather restrictions.

My proposal:
ref=A178
bridge=ferry
name=Transporter Bridge
loc_name=Transporter
foot=yes
cycle=yes
goods=no
psv=no
hgv=no
route=ferry
operator=Stagecoach Teesside
capacity=  etc etc
