One example where this would not be a good idea is Park Avenue in New York which splits around Grand Central Station and then goes through the center of the building behind the station. The rendering of this is not only a matter of z-ordering since we probably don't want those roads to be simply covered up by the building. Instead they should be rendered similar to roads in tunnels. Without a special tag it is hard to define render rules for a "road that is covered by a building".
