It's useful to set most waterway=drain to be layer=-1 to stop false
positives from showing up on keepright when they run under roads and
such. To simplify maybe it should be assumed that all waterways are
layer=-1 and any tunnels default to layer=-2, that would solve the
issue from a preprocessing point of view wouldn't it?
