As I said in my email it works correctly on a test server from a technical point of view and yes I agree about upsetting mappers that's why I'm asking the list.

But does anyone know of a bridge or tunnel that should not also have a layer tag.  They are there to go over or under something else and are physically separated.  If there is no layer tag then the data is incorrect.

This is already available in josm validator and keepright but most don't seem to use or do anything with it.  Or maybe it's an issue with how it's displayed in these.


Maybe then the tag needs to be a fixme="Does this need to have a layer tag added?" rather than changing directly to a layer tag.
