http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27827017/history for example. It's not that important, but if the end of the bridge is close to a junction it can be a bit messy sometimes. But the script is making the invalid assumption that all bridges without layer tags should have layer=1. In all the cases I've seen it has been largely harmless but unnecessary and has changed the intent (though I can imagine an obscure case of a set of tiered bridges where it could actually make it wrong if someone has relied on the default being layer=0, though that would have been unwise). I've changed some of them that I did originally to be explicitly layer=0 so if this script is looking for bridges with missing layer tags it won't change them again.
