the result of the mentioned redesign is exactly that - there should be much
fewer freeform values now. Other subtypes of bridges (humpback, suspension, 
drawbridge, swing etc) have been moved to subtags bridge:structure and 
bridge:movable.

It would be important that those few bridge values that remained after the 
redesign are rendered.

Also rendering the outline of man_made=bridge would be a huge progress.
