Hi,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bridge mentions "swing" bridges without
defining them.
Apparently mappers do totally disagree what "swing" means.. out of our mapped
bridge=swing
* about half are small swinging bridges (aka simple suspension, hanging bridges)
* some are swing bridges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_bridge
* some are high-tech suspension bridges
* some are bridges that would be best defined as bridge=movable according to our
wiki page
Those are radically different types of bridges.. comparing

with

or

Wondering what to do with that? With just 687 objects worldwide the problem
would be easily fixable.. just how?
