Hello

I personally prefer a few main values in the waterway to define the general
cases and subtags for specific cases like this, of the type of usage =
fiss_pass. If I am in front of an infrastructure of this type, its physical
characteristics will allow me to distinguish if it is a channel, ditch or
brook. If it was built for the purpose of fish passing it is a separate
issue. Are a fish_pass different in nature to any other waterway? Waterway
different in it's construction nature could be used as a fish_pass? If the
answers to this questions are no and yes, put the fish_pass value apart of
the main waterway key. This form seems simpler and more versatile to me.

By the way: in the table of values added to the wiki there is a strange
blank gap between the blue cells of ditch/brook and pressurised. Also the
culvert cell is misaligned with respect to the cave cell and others. Is
this intentional and has a meaning or an error when constructing the table
that can be corrected?

Regards, Javier
