Why do you need split the road at the edges of the bridges? This is
currently done because it is the only way of defining the bridge. If
we are to split the two features, then this need disappears. If the
bridge crossing ways have width or weight limits, these do not
necessarily coincide with the structural limits of the bridges. They
often apply to the approaches as well, so the section of the road
where the restriction applies begins and ends beyond the bridge.

I agree that this is nice in future, but for compatibility reasons I
would propose a slow progress towards what you describe: if the bridge
is already there the ways are splitted, the bridge highway is already
there and so on - so: keep them splitted and it's less work with more
backwards compatibility.
If they are not, it's up to you as a mapper if you want outdated
renderers to use the old scheme or not.
