not sure about this, more opinions? Yet another popular name is
"rope bridge".
Found one more culprit for the popularity of bridge=swing - a wiki
page tag:bridge:swing exists. It is only a redirect seeing it
from taginfo suggests it is a legal combination.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:bridge%3Dswing&redirect=no
I would suggest to speedily delete this redirect?
Meanwhile I am trying to clean up the localised pages.
