For OSM purposes (as opposed to general mapping) the answer should not
be complicated. If at high tide you drive into the water, you have
driven over a functional coast into the sea... :)
Of course, this won't work for mariners and lawyers... :)
My favourite estuary is the Fly River in PNG. It

No, but there are (proposed) tags to indicate the low-tide mark, and
the OpenSeaMap guys might have something for other various maritime
boundaries.

If you look at this from the point of view of territorial waters the
coastline is from either the high or low tide marks, they spell it out
in legalese and I can't remember off the top of my head, but the coast
line cuts across any
I've noticed lots of the islands off the Queensland coast have had their
coastlines changed to natural=land.
From the wiki this is incorrect.
natural=land is for Land that exists within another area, such as a lake.
additionally look here:
They will render still.
Depends.
Look at informationfreeway.org for this area at zooms less than 12 and you will
see that most of the islands are missing. The roads on Hamilton Island are in
the middle of the water.

Have a read of this:

Anything big enough to appear on z9 is most likely going to have more

Only at z0-9, at least according to the wiki link you posted, not sure
what happens after that, but natural=land will show up at z10-
There are three shape files that can be used, which cover all zoom levels.
They are world_boundaries, coastlines and shorelines.
Also just looking at Lake Eyre
Sorry, the 2 below it, if you zoom in to z10 you can see where Lake
Eyre appears and at z9 it disappears.
Interesting, on openstreetmap.org Lake Eyre appears from z6 whereas on
bigtincan its from z9, so depends on how your osm.xml file is setup for mapnik.
