This point is well understandable but I disagree to say that landscape is *more* important than anything else regarding power lines mapping. Tagging isn't the right tool to say what is important or what isn't. It is true that a part of the community only consider them for orientation but other people can use that piece of data differently. Both landscape and network approach are valuable and I don't see the point behind using the global power key to deal with a particular property. A "minor line" in landscape (or even underground) can be major from another point of view.
