I don't see for most of these additions where they relate to the barrier 
itself:
barrier:video does not differ relevant from "normal" video surveillance 
- so I don't see the need for another tag.
keys: well - okay, but that's from my POV only useful when standard keys 
(like Euro key for toilets for disabled people or the square shaped key 
for bollards often used at least in Germany) is used. These I would add 
more concrete to avoid different interpretations of "key" and to 
increase the use of the key.
rfid: useful for other features as well, and I think, tagged as a 
barrier node the relation would be clear enough - or are there any use 
cases for a barrier where rfid would relate to another entity than the 
barrier itself? same for keypad, rfid, biometric and magnetic_stripe.
