[Tagging] Power=cable for low voltage lines?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

 0% of power=cable have a voltage tag:

Only 30% of power=minor_line have a voltage:

It seems that most mappers do not put a voltage on small power lines. I
suspect this may be true for small overhead power cables too

Would you recommend renderering lines and cables of unknown voltage as low
voltage, eg only render on zoom level 18 or 19 (neighborhood or Bock
level), with a thin line?
