Then there is the additional problem that the terminal end of the way used to indicate the waterway=river connects with the "coastline" which is where the estuary portion of the river ends. I'm not clear about which object you propose adding the estuary=yes tag to? Let me put it another way. If the particular river is mapped using a way that terminates on the coastline, where does the estuary tag get placed? I realize that some rivers are mapped using just a riverbank area, i.e, there is no way to terminate, but that still leaves my question unanswered.
