The example I gave of the Murray River is one explicit example where the boundary is fixed the main flow of the southern bank of the river, regardless what happens to the river the boundary moves with it. Other water ways are the same, the boundary and the waterway are the same thing, for all intents and purposes and there is no good reason to separate them, in fact there is many good reasons to just leave them as is. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
