I can think of several instances where layering is far from the simple 
method, unless you ignore a lot of physical realities. See my post in the 
tagging group proposing "covered=yes". Granted you can ignore a lot of the 
things I mention there, but it can make it very difficult to map if the 
building is forced to be at both level 0 and level 1 because of 
insufficient tagging capabilities. Yours may very well be the overall 
group opinion. I'll be interested to see what others have to say.
