</div></div>it was a test to see what can go wrong during such conversion. There were<br>
quite some odd cases, like bridge=drawbridge used to "draw" the outline of<br>
the bridge.<br>
<br>
Some time in the future I would like to review all bridge=swing and fix<br>
at least those which are not movable at all but hanging rope bridges<br>
instead.<br>
