doesn't seem logical to me, but if you see it like this you might want to propose properties for these ways to add that information.

Like
xy area object tags +
fenced=yes

is an implicit fence (property) and

barrier=fence is an explicit fence (object), and both are valid tags.

yes, and to store these own properties in a common way you likely should map these objects on their own.

For a bridge the tag is
man_made=bridge

if we don't have yet tags to map explicit tunnels and cuttings, these could be introduced (maybe there aren't own properties on these objects that mappers so far wanted to map, hence no tags have yet been introduced).
