 The range of choices for some keys can be a bit overwhelming, as there is
 no distinction between common, likely values, and obscure ones.

 For example, bridge=yes is extremely common. It's 12,000 times (no
 exaggeration) more common than bridge=suspension. It would be good if the
 control could somehow reflect this.

 One way might be a two-tier menu that looks like this:

 Bridge (generic)
 No bridge
 Unset
 Others
 -> Viaduct
 -> Suspension

 Anyway, I'm mentioning this as a problem we want to solve, not as a
 specific solution to the problem. We might need to look more closely at
 the specific tags involved - so maybe there are a few keys where "yes/no"
 is the primary distinction, and other choices are secondary.
