I recall from older discussions that mappers prefer to keep the semantics clean. If it is a lake, it shouldn't be tagged as "coast" (you could use "shoreline"?), because a coast implies a sea or an ocean. From a practical point of view, including big lakes into the coastline extract would be something useful for many people using a rendering approach similar to that of carto-osm, but it doesn't necessarily require to twist tagging. Yet another comment on coastlines and islands: I believe it would be better not to add both tags to the same osm element, but rather make the distinction of line and polygon (i.e. create a multipolygon for the island and add the coastline tags to the way), so to avoid ambiguities where the name (and all other tags) belong to. cheers, Martin
