A permanently open gate isn't a barrier, so I don't think it should be
tagged as such. At least not across a way.
It is a barrier ready for use.
You could add a separate node to one side of the way, and tag that as
a gate.
A gate which is often open, but sometimes closed, is just an ordinary
gate. Many farm gates are like that. Potatoes this year = leave the
gate open. They are not likely to escape, and it saves getting down
off the tractor. Sheep this year = keep the gate closed.
As you say, the gate may be closed and it is good if the map alerts
drivers to that possibility.
I'd rather be warned and find it open than not warned and find it closed.
