Hi James
About your question: having a way with natural=coastline and another
(identical) way which is natural=wood works. I don't think two natural tags
does.
Now a proposition to make it easier, because editing coastline is not easy!
1- Copy all Canvec natural=water into a new layer
2- Prepare the new coastline from Canvec data - excluding island
Merge as much natural=water with water=intermittent objects as possible
- JOSM shift-J option. It might create a relation in the process.
At the end, Delete the corresponding relation if necessary
- Use the trash icon in the relation window, it keeps the ways.
Clip the shore in the resulting outer untagged ways
Delete unused outer segments
Tag the resulting shore as natural=coastline
3- Replace the original coastline with your new one
Copy your new coastline in the OSM layer
Join the original coastline to the end nodes of the new coastline
- JOSM j option (remember, there is two end nodes!-)
Clip the original coastline at end nodes of the new coastline
Delete the portion of the original coastline you just replaced
Reverse direction of the new coastline if the land is not on the left side
4- Prepare Islands new coastline from Canvec data
Islands should still be in the new layer you just created
Clip/Edit/Delete unnecessary ways
Tag the remaining untagged ways that are island as natural=coastline
5- Replace the original island with your new one (one at a time is easier)
Copy your new island in the OSM layer
Delete the previous island you just replaced
Reverse direction of the new island if the land is not on the left side
Use the validator before uploading anything!
Now cross your fingers until the display of the coastline is updated !-)
Cheers
Daniel

I am ready to start changing the Lake Huron coastline over to using
the canvec data. One question I have is about islands. What is the
proper way to have an island that is natural=wood? Is it legal to have
two natural tags or do I need one way which is natural=coastline and
another (identical) way which is natural=wood?
