What is currently written on the wiki which includes the proposal which
is linked to from the coastline documentation.

As said this is mostly due to misinterpreting imagery.
That can account for a few metres either way (perpendicular to the
shoreline), but not for the difference between tidal limit and a
"convenient crossing point near the sea". That is purely a personal
judgement, not misaligning imagery. After all, we are not disputing here
the location of the sides of the river, but where we draw the line from
one side of the river to the other.
