I think we should follow the example of the "abandoned:" namespace, as in
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:abandoned , and use something like:
I would suggest to discuss this first on tagging list, especially now
that they are already discussing intermittent waterway.

and the only other option is wadi which gives a b
