My proposal for bridge reference tagging: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Bridge_Number which I need for canals has been disapproved on the basis that I should be using a bridge/tunnel relation: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_Tunnels
Reading that page, it seems that not only is the proposal not complete or approved but, even when it is, it will make bridge tagging for canals about five times as complicated as it would be otherwise. Given that many of the arguments about complexity on that discussion end with "in that simple case, just use the current tagging scheme", it seems that this complexity has been noted. Why, then, should such a relation be necessary for a simple task such as adding a reference to a bridge?
