9819	[PATCH] stricter checking for highways crossing waterways without bridges	RicoZ	reichg	"Currently many mappers tag whole rivers with layer=-1 because it is an easy way to avoid validator warnings of the type ""highway crossing waterway"".

Enhance the check so that keepright warns whenever a highway crosses a waterway where there is no bridge or tunnel even if the layer is different. A layer tag itself does not make a valid crossing.

This has been discussed in the wiki ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:layer#layer.3D-1_erroneously_used_for_many_italian_rivers ) and previously the update to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:layer has been discussed in the mailing list ( https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069219.html )
