And it can also be considered how ofter culvert is needed.  Normally, if a 
ditchcrosses a way it does it through a culvert, at least here in Finland,
and everybody knows it without splitting the waterway and adding culverts 
or layer definitions etc. But for sure there are culverts which are worth 
having their own tags.
