[Tagging] Powerlines underground

[Volker Schmidt]

In English, overground power transmission is done by overground power *lines
*(strands of metal without insulation, using the air as insulator),
underground power transmission is done by means of underground power *cables
* (strands of metal with insulation)
(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission,
#Underground transmission)

For that reason I would consider power=line + location=underground at least
confusing, if not contradictory. power=cable + location=underground is
definitely to be preferred.
