Moin,

my renderer downloads data for tiles (currently in the 0.1° grid) and 
then renderes these.

This works fine, except for coastlines, where I have two problems:

* The coastlines are just open lines, but I need closed areas for 
rendering
* When I download data in the middle of the ocean, no coastline crosses 
the tile and I do not know that the current tile must be filled 
completely with water

That there is some coastline data for mapnik, but I don't quite 
understand how that process works.

So how would I:

* figure out that a certain area is water-covered?
* get a complete, closed coast line (possible for the entire world?)

and both best via some HTTP request :)

All the best,

Tels
