That is a different matter - i don't think Paul based his objection on verifiability concerns. As i demonstrated with my examples people map the tidal section of rivers outside the coastline both as riverbank polygons and bays. Discouraging the former would likely lead to people moving to the latter. Also keep in mind that the non-timely coastline updates have also lead people to start mapping more with water polygons and less with coastline - because the coastline changes failed to show up in the map. See for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2805665 Hence the Rio de la Plata matter turned into kind of a self aggravating problem. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
