Hi,

considering a fairly short way that is partially covered in several 
places by one or more buidlings:

(1) should the way be split in sections and covered applied striclty only
    to the covered sections
(2) or is it good enough to mark a larger section with covered and interpret
    it to the effect that the "covered" only defines a covered-relation where 
    there is actualy an object that can cover it - somewhat similar to the
    the way layer has only a defined meaning where two or more objects 
    intersect.

Related, in cases where covered is used without a layer tag should there be
a common node in the place the way is crossing the building boundary in the
same way there are supposed to be common nodes when streams cross riverbanks
or weirs?
