I appreciate the proposal page, and will update it with my thoughts. 
However, I agree with Anthony. The "covered" proposal is not the place to 
discuss what is and is not a tunnel. The tunnel page is the place for 
that. There is apparently quite a bit of disagreement about what is and is 
not a tunnel, and that may be addressed elsewhere. Whatever a tunnel is, 
the covered property is unnecessary for a tunnel, because tunnel implies a 
cover.
