Nice collection of missing barrier types. I've even used some of them
already, so it's a good thing to document these additions.

I noticed some smaller issues, though:

* Couldn't we just use barrier=rope/chain on ways, too? Introducing
barrier=post_and_rope/post_and_chain for this seems unnecessary.

* Isn't a guardrail a linear feature? It should be possible to use this
on ways.

* barrier=curb has an area element type. This seems /somewhat/
excessive, especially since none of the other barriers has.

That seems like a somewhat different idea - and might be more
controversial than the rest, or at least for different reasons - , so I
wonder why it's in the same proposal.

I don't think I'll map control devices anytime soon (or ever), though,
so I'm going to just ignore that section.
