`covered`, traditionally: Someone has asked me to add a `covered=booth` field to the telephone preset. I’m pushing back on the request slightly because `covered=*` already has a mostly-understood meaning defined here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:covered <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:covered> Generally the tag `covered=*` (usually ‘yes’) is used to indicate that a highway goes under a building part, so that linters and validation tools can not flag the crossing as an error.. `covered` for telephones? The `amenity=telephone` page suggests using `covered=booth` for a phone in a booth. It also suggests adding a `booth=*` tag (again usually ‘yes’, but may indicate what type of iconic UK phone booth). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=telephone <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=telephone> Proposal: I’d like to drop `covered=booth` as a suggested tag, as it’s superfluous. If the telephone feature has `booth=yes` or `booth=K6` you know it’s a booth. Then we’re not repurposing the `covered=*` for a thing that it doesn’t normally do in other situations and isn’t documented on the main `covered` page. Thoughts? Thanks, Bryan
