[Tagging] Powerlines underground

[François Lacombe]

Hi Janko.

Earlier this month, I asked to french list why only lines are mapped
instead of circuits.

The answer was "Mapping cricuits by two parallels ways more of the time is
useless and not efficient. We'd better mapping lines".
Furthermore, we have relations to document circuits through power grid and
this answer was really the good one.
It's consistent to do the same for cables vs lines.

All topics on wiki deals with reification of lines, not for cables.
I think consistency is more important than all particular situations we can
find.

You find a deal for the renderer.
But as a raw data consumer, It will be mandatory for me to find all the
combinations to describe a line.
It's not simpler.
