The current situation is this: There is a "bogus" way tagged natural=coastline that closes the coastline. This way goes to about 85° South, so it only works for Mercator projection. If you use a different projection you will see a more or less circular ocean in the middle of Antarctica. I propose we leave the coastline open and solve this special case in the software. I have already changed the OSMCoastline program to handle this special case, it is not a big deal. The code closes the coastline into a polygon "in the right way" depending on the projection the user wants. Because of the different projections we have to have special code for this case anyway, so I think it would be cleaner to leave the coastline open instead of having the bogus way in there.
