I gave the example to demonstrate the size of some of them.. not as a 
perfect example of what might/should be done :)


Another example? 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/162902991#map=18/69.29836/16.04113

You will note that is does not render...

There exists man_made=guy with some 41 uses... that too probably does 
not render.


Rendering is a separate issue.. but  ideally they should be rendered 
slightly differently so that they can be distinguished on the map.


To complicate matters .. there are antenna feed cables too. 
man_made=antenna_feed ? I know of 2 .. underground.
