Hi,
I just wondered how to tag a dock which is tidal, since the wiki does
not propose anything for that case. In fact the wiki proposes dock=tidal
for a dock, which has a tidal independent water level i.e. the water
level is managed.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddock
But
Dock=gated

Does one tag towers with both ?

One case where covered would be appropriate would be a highway or railway
in the mountains, where a slanted roof is above the way to protect against
falling rocks and/or avalanches. I remember encountering such in the Swiss
Alps.
