As I understand the tags, they're not at all ambiguous: waterway=stream and waterway=river are mutually exclusive ways of tagging a river, the choice being made on the width of the watercourse at that point. waterway=riverbank is an alternative way of mapping a waterway=river, and can coexist with it.
