I wonder if we're not becoming too theoretical by thinking about scientific definitions. I know that we strive to have something "verifiable" but at the same time I have a bad feeling about there being a "coastline" in OSM where there is definitely no "coast" within dozens of kilometers. Sure, I can say "don't be too literal, natural=coastline doesn't mean there has to be a coast, it's just for closing ocean polygons" but that doesn't make it better really. Sure, with current ocean drawing technology we need a "coastline" across every river estuary at some point... but perhaps we should think beyond that?
