Proposal
I propose the new value "guy_wire" for the key "man_made" to show guy wires for masts (man_made=mast) or crosses (man_made=cross) oder summit crosses (summit:cross=yes). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Guywire.jpg
Rationale
The guy_wire usually has has good visibility. I think there are at least several ten-thousand guy_wires on the world, but there may be more.

Tagging
man_made=guy_wire
Applies to
Wires of different material (steel most of the time)
Rendering
thin black or dark-grey line similar to aerial_way=draglift above all other features because it is overground and usually only other wires above it (seldom)
