Even if you have two elements, it's obvious which is above the other
if only one is bridge=* or tunnel=*. The purpose of the layer tag is
to resolve ambiguities when two above-ground or two below-ground
features cross.

Remembering of course that the ground is layer=0, so unless something
under a bridge is in a tunnel it too is layer=0.
