I don't see any thing against using level=* to solve some rendering issues.
Feature-independance is maybe the key for more simplicity and versatility. As location=underground is one other example. power=cable isn't feature independent at all, are we? 2013/1/16 A.Pirard.Papou <a.pirard.pa...@gmail.com> > I'm somewhat of a tourist in this thread (if you didn't notice) but I > can't help wondering why these lines aka cables are not tagged with at > least layer=±3 (1). > Now, if we do not want the non-specialized renderer to be updated with > each new feature, the best is a tag telling whether a underground hidden > object has to be rendered with a dotted line.
