#5234: tunnel=* on a way generates inappropriate address/place

 Priority:  minor             |  Milestone:
Component:  nominatim         |    Version:
 Keywords:  tunnel, waterway  |

 Consider placeid
 https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=9212214461 ...

 Two issues seem evident; the first is how nominatim is handling address
 generation for ways with the tag tunnel=* regardless of other tagging; the
 second is that it is generating them for a waterway way at all.

 Issue A: For ways with tunnel=* in general, the address 'West Pine Lake
 Road, Atkins, Forest, Wisconsin, United States of America' is generated. I
 would expect that a generated address in this case should be 'Atkins,
 Forest, Wisconsin, United States of America', as a tunnel does not
 necessarily have anything to do with the closest way of type 'highway'.

 Issue B: Regardless of (A), above, this is a way of type waterway=*, which
 in turn is a member of a relation of type waterway=*. Generally these do
 not generate a placeid at all, because they are parented to the waterway
 relation (here, relation 172143.) In other words, that the way has the
 waterway tag on it should be evaluated over the fact that tunnel also
 does.

 Thanks for the consideration!
