I agree with you, Marc, when you say the use of covered=* is kind of a 
distortion of the tag.
That's why I opened this discussion, because I also had that doubt.

My problem with storage_tank=open is that it still has ambiguity. Open 
where? On the top, on the side? Which side? This is very important in 
the case of storage tanks destined to firefighters.
My question is: how to convey the critical information that a 
storage_tank (or whatever element we consider) is open on the top?
