I've added the key/value "covered=yes" to the Map Features property
section. The purpose is to provide for tagging of nodes/ways/areas which
are covered by another object, such as a building, where it is not
appropriate to designate them at different layers.
It may also be used to designate buried objects, such as a buried power
line or buried water main, where these are not in a tunnel or conduit. Or,
to tag a buried area, such as an underground reservoir or cistern, or
possibly an underground parking lot, where there is no other structure
completely covering it to provide a different layer.
I researched "covered" and "buried" in the wiki, and didn't run across any
conflicts except for a Belgian reference to "man_made=reservoir_covered",
which would indicate a single case of redundancy.
