the definitions you found are all reasonable for natural=floodplain and are all 
describing the same situation, although with different focus on which aspect is 
named.

The definition given above in this thread describing government dedication of 
land is not suitable for the natural tag and should go into the boundary tag 
(and subkeys), if entered into osm at all.
