I've had a similar situation on the talk-de list where some people
seem to have started adding layer=1 to tram tracks. I don't like this
all that much (a bridge leading over a road with tram tracks would
then need to be layer=2 etc) but it's hard to argue with them since
the tram tracks *are* on top of the road. The layer tag doesn't say by
how much...

Bye
Frederik
