I think it's quite easy. If NE2 has been there to inspect the individual 
intersection he has been changing, or at least thoroughly studied aerial 
imagery or so for this particular intersection, then his idea of how it 
should be tagged is as legit as someone else's and the issue must be 
discussed/battled out for each case individually.

(Personally, I have no issues with a bridge being layer=0 when stuff 
below it is layer=-1 - we explicitly say that layers are meant to be 
relative only. At the same time, if people really have been tagging 
whole thoroughfares with layer=-1 that may in itself be questionable.)

If, however, he has based his changes on some kind of (semi-)automatic 
reasoning then these changes are not better than those of a bot meddling 
with the work of real mappers, and should be reverted in their entirety.

Bye
Frederik
