No idea why, but rivers should certainly be shown with a length. EG The Nile rises in Lake Victoria & travels to the Mediterranean with a length of ~6695km (depending on reference used), but the distance between Kampala, on the north shore of Lave Victoria & Cairo is only 3300km. OSM shows it fairly accurately as 6853km but as a distance, when it should clearly be a length - may be a re-write required?
