As far as I know tunnel=yes doesn't imply layer=-1, which
keepright seems to be doing.  I think keepright is wrong to assume
that.  But then Key:layer says that for bridges and tunnels that
are at level 0 you should explicitly put the layer.

There is also tunnel=building_passage, which might be more clear
then just yes.  It's also very explicit in saying that it should
have the same layer as the buildings (none/0).

As far as I understand it, covered means that there aren't 2 walls
on each side and so that it's open, which as far as I know isn't
the case.
