(man_made=bridge, man_made=carpet_hanger) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/man_made%3Dbridge https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/carpet_hanger I made some proposals where discussion was very useful and helped to improve page, but I decided to not risk a vote. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/street_vendor%3Dyes https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/opening_hours:signed%3Dno No vote at all and de facto tag is better outcome than a failed vote if you want to tag something with an accepted tag. Personally I am fine with this idea, I consider review, criticism and discussion as the useful part of a proposal process. And I give little weight to whatever tag was approved by vote or not. (that is also why people wanting to deprecate highway=bus_stop or promote landcover=* tag family will not make a proposal with vote, because it is very likely that it would be rejected)
