[Tagging] tag "covered" questions

[Johan C]

It was a bit confusing to me, but tunnel=building_passage seems to be a
better one than covered=yes for the situations when a highway is under a
building. I think ideally such a building should be split giving the
building a different layer than the highway. Strange enough the wiki
says'' *The
layer has to be the same as the building*.' Too bad JOSM keeps displaying
validator warnings for these situations.
