A follow up on this. Chillly (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chillly) has
rendered tiles with the postcodes on which you can use in JOSM and other
editors. Currently he's loaded Birmingham for us but plans to do the other
areas too. Follow the instructions here to use it:
Thanks to your rendering, I find I used the lock gate tag for a

there a better tag available these days?

On some rivers upstream there are points tagged for canoeing.

I'm not sure if this will effect your work but I thought I should let you know.

I went with canal + boat=no for the New River as it's man-made but

Richard,
A direct link to an editor would be really neat...Do you know how to do it?
I suppose I need to use javascript to detect that you have clicked on the
'edit' link, then update the link to be the map origin?
Or is there an easy way - not sure how the 'Permalink' thing works - I'll
dig
I used the OpenStreetMap homepage code for inspiration and wrote a stripped
down version for this page:
http://www.openecomaps.co.uk/map.php
Basically you give the link an ID, get the relevant variables from
OpenLayers and register events to update the link every time the map
changes.
Tom, Richard,
I think I have got an alternative way of doing it - the Openlayers Permalink
control can take a 'base' parameter, which is the url base that it links to
(like http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit).
It is working on http://maps.webhop.net/canals now.
Not as pretty as the main OSM
Another cause of 'odd gaps' seems to be large rivers that have riverbanks
drawn (waterway=riverbank), but no way down the middle tagged as
waterway=river.
I am minded to keep the rendering unchanged on the grounds that the wiki
says it should have the waterway=river way (
