I'm somewhat of a tourist in this thread (if you didn't notice) but
I can't help wondering why these lines aka cables are not tagged
with at least layer=±3 (1).<br>
Now, if we do not want the non-specialized renderer to be updated
with each new feature, the best is a tag telling whether a <strike>underground</strike>
hidden object has to be rendered with a dotted line. This is not
tagging for the renderer (2), it is making an OSMap.<br>
<br>
This is the same feature-independence reasoning as saying that
bridges are black objects a little wider than the road, just that,
and tagged at level road-1, thus supporting the road without
interrupting nor hiding it (as done at legacy level +1) and
extending two black stripes to each side. While bridge=yes was OK,
I have had rendering problems with bridge=culvert and I'm wondering
why the renderer is messing in the hidden underskirt of a bridge :-)<br>

(1) which should have been called level in my mind.<br>
BTW, wiki/Layer had better say that the ground at Earth surface is
layer 0.<br>
(2) which is working around its mistakes<br>
