Bjoern The layer attribute is only used for overlapping OSM elements to indicate their relative position ( indoor mapping should be using "level" (the SIT tagging scheme has already been referenced). In a pure indoor scenario I would consider layer unnecessary (JOSM will naturally complain

"layer" is not relevant here. The "layer" tag is only used to indicate the relative vertical position of the object with respect to other objects. So steps would only have a layer tag if they are crossing another way, but not connecting to it. To indicate the up or down direction of steps, you
