I've added the key/value "covered=yes" to the Map Features property section. The purpose is to provide for tagging of nodes/ways/areas which are covered by another object, such as a building, where it is not appropriate to designate them at different layers.
It may also be used to designate buried objects, such as a buried power line or buried water main, where these are not in a tunnel or conduit. Or, to tag a buried area, such as an underground reservoir or cistern, or possibly an underground parking lot, where there is no other structure completely covering it to provide a different layer. I researched "covered" and "buried" in the wiki, and didn't run across any conflicts except for a Belgian reference to "man_made=reservoir_covered", which would indicate a single case of redundancy. -- Randy _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
