Hi,

the approved and currently active proposal for bridges is not
quite clear on this  - the older "bridge=pontoon" was not obsoleted
but a new "bridge=yes"+"bridge:structure=floating" was introduced
with the description "A bridge whose load is supported by floating 
on water, rather than resting on fixed supports. Typically 
a pontoon bridge. "

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Bridge_types

Are there floating bridges other than pontoon bridges?

Should pontoon be moved into bridge:structure and replace
"floating"?

Richard
