Hi,
Just looking at the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_Hydrography_Dataset
which is similar to the Canadian
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoBaseNHN_Map_Features
dataset,

There are a few other features also, that it would be worth some
discussion to see if i should be adding these also
Your help is needed.

I think it's worth creating a tag for a man_made=fish_passage
(personally, i like 'passage, rather than ladder'  describing what the
feature DOES than what the feature IS.

8 Fish Ladder	 A constructed series of pools arranged like steps to
enable fish to pass an obstacle. Fish ladders are also referred to as
fish ways, fish passes, and fish passage facilities.

I know that not all features that are available MUST get imported....
but i do think that each feature deserves some discussions before
being dismissed :-)  ... valid reasons (and posting them) are good
enough for me :-)

Any comments?

Thanks,
Sam
