do not like that too much either. > In reality, bridges are pieces of concrete or stonework at level -1 > under an uninterrupted foil of tarmac at level 0. but in our model we don't map the concret, nor do we map cellars instead of houses. We map bridges as a property of the road.

I think everyone else who will come across this tagging will remove your layer tags as incorrect. Seems to me the wiki should be kept in sync better.
