Thank you Ralph, I understand your perspective, but have to disagree a bit
(I'm not looking for a battle, however).

A ford is a stack of layers that are directly adjacent vertically, with the
road slightly below the stream/river.  In the dry season a ford is only a
road and only becomes a ford when a watercourse flows over the top of the
road.

A culvert is a part of of road construction, a culvert would not exist
without the road, but the culvert is utilized by the stream.  Personally I
have physically installed culverts in road profiles where there is no
watercourse.  If I try to add a culvert in JOSM without an additional tag I
get a validation warning.


These aren't mutually exclusive, fords with culverts under them are fairly
common in Oklahoma.
