odd - and reflecting current usage patterns as far as I can judge from analysing current data. Even odd rules can be quite useful. Thinking more about it, perhaps location=* would be a good alternative for tagging very long bridges and tunnels? Thinking of bridges spanning whole valleys with towns bellow them and similar. Working out every crossing that may happen to be bellow the long bridge and how it relates to the underground railway network down there is impractical.
