there is no need to break anything
height and maxheight can also be just nodes.
i think the wiki definition is quite clear for all.

so for me:
- maxheight on the bridge stands for height limit of vehicles crossing 
the bridge. [tag the bridge or a node]
- height on the bridge stands for distance from the ground to top of the 
bridge (construction). [tag the bridge]
- maxheight on the way under the bridge stands for height limit of 
vehicles crossing under the bridge. [tag a way node]

you can have all three at the same time.

- height on the way under the bridge makes no sense, unless you want to 
tag the asphalt or pavement height.(!)
