Hi,

I have noticed that many of these bridges were tagged as bridge=swing.

Bridge=swing was originally intended for something very different : 
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_bridge
(which has been changed to bridge=movable+ bridge:movable=swing itm)

There was no official way to tag swinging (tibetan) bridges so it has 
been added now - please use 
  bridge=yes + bridge:structure=simple-suspension

Another revised tag is bridge=yes + bridge:structure=humpback which can
be used to tag arched roman bridges such as
