Hello,

actually, I have used
   warterway=spillway
   intermittent=yes
in the past, reasoning that this particular spillway (http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/451309286) is rarely put to use, while others might be more permanently flooded (regularly during high tides for example)

I suppose waterway=weir plus intermittent=yes would describe it, but I don't think that's as good as a specific spillway tag.

    I've seen these tagged as waterway=drain which is close but agree
    that
    waterway=spillway is better. Would be great to have this
    documented on
    the wiki.



There is at least one 'spillway' that is a pipe in the lake ... shaped like a funnel for flow ... but it is not your traditional 'spillway' in that it does not go over the wall but under. In that case 'drain' is a more appropriate word... but the function is still a spillway.
