You say that "a redefinition of riverbanks has not been approved" but the current wiki page says the opposite: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Driverbank == Common tagging == The area of the river should be marked by a closed area drawn along the riverbanks... == New tagging == A new tagging schema has been approved... ... The ways around a river can still be tagged as waterway=riverbank (as they still are riverbanks), although this isn't needed, and riverbanks aren't treated as areas any more... The current status of this wiki page is very bad and confusing. First, we explain two methods and we don't explain why. Second, the new tagging is not adopted by editors presets since a year. Third, the section titled "unification of the island case" is showing a multipolygon relation with an outer ring unclosed (you have gaps between way1, way2 and way5, way6) ! Please, clarify the riverbanks taggins either by: - deprecate the old tagging, at least clearly in the wiki ! - or withdraw the "new tagging schema" never adopted for riverbanks excepted by the 16 voters and some imports (2500 "water=river" after two years of official "approval" !) - say clearly if riverbanks have to be a closed polygon (or multipolygon relation) or not ! - fix the unclosed outer ring in multipolygon relation. It's something that can happen in real data (and fixed by data consumers) but not something we can recommand in the reference documentation. Pieren
