It seems to me that indicating whether or not the water's edge is a cliff would 
be useful.  For example, if you have small children, you probably wouldn't want 
to take them to a cliff-edge site.

I've thought about it, adding the type of coastline would be very
useful when you don't want to do micromapping. But I've never done it,
on Rottnest Island I've instead used natural=rocks to tag areas with
cliffs/rocks.

You could tag it as a barrier=cliff. :-)
