Thanks for handling man_made bridge. I use it a lot. 

The only comment to this idea of “make tags for you to use” is that if you 
invent a tagging method for a particular type of object, that you include 
similar objects that people would like to map to avoid tag fragmentation.

If you propose amenity=foobar, I expect you to consider a subtag like foobar=* 
or foobar:type=* to be able to define different types of the foobar people 
encounter. 

if you are proposing a new tag foo_bar=* to handle x, y, & z, I expect you to 
consider l,m,n,o & p as well - even if you don't use them -  because trying to 
get them “approved” later is very difficult, and people will use incorrect tags 
on objects just to complete mapping if that is the case. 

the Tagging mailing list extends the **tagging system**, It’s not just for 
solving a single particular mapping issue for an individual. 

Tags can be extended later, but it means convincing people to support a sinlge 
tag value they don't care about individually or don't understand the usefulness 
of, when it probably would have easily been approved without objection if it 
was included in the original proposal. the golf=cart_path recently comes to 
mind.
