Greetings, I've just been over the bridge types proposal < http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Bridge_types> which I brought to the list twice earlier this year. I think the bugs have been pretty well ironed out, and further changes would largely be a matter of taste, so I bring it to you for voting.
Summary points since the last discussion: The "bridge_type" key has been changed to the more appropriate "bridge:structure". The installed base of "bridge_type" is relatively small (547 objects), so this shouldn't be a big deal. Typology will stay in "bridge" for simplicity. I decided to keep the "bridge=movable"; "bridge:movable=..." tagging scheme. I think the complexity of the movable bridge types, plus the fact that the average person may not know how to distinguish them, makes a two-tiered hierarchy reasonable here. I dropped "culvert", since our accepted practice seems to use that to tag a tunnel on the lower way at such crossings. I know I can't please everyone in every point, but I think your input has made this a very sound proposal with plenty of room for future extension. Thanks for your consideration. Yours gratefully, -- Chris Hoess
