Just that regardless of what you call this particular feature, be it
man_made=fish_passage or man_made=xyyz you should, when in doubt, just
go ahead and make something up when importing external datasets
instead of dropping it from the import.

A tag is created as soon as you start using it, it can always be
discussed further or changed later, the data being there is the
important part.
