I'm trying to do something like the European tagging:

But there they have some sort of international treaty that defines 
configurations.

Do you know of any reasonable way to define large vs. small? I know 
there's "deep-draft" shipping, but most inland waterways don't support 
that (since barges are apparently shallow-draft).
