There seems to be confusion here between mapping a feature and having it named. I suspect too much weight is being given to names generally in this discussion even if this is not explicitly stated. Something OSM considers a bay may be called a cove in the name, named tidal "creeks" are mapped as tidal_channel etc. The name can't be the final arbiter of tagging else in the extreme case we would be rendering Rio de Janeiro in blue along with a whole chain of coffeeshops. In this case it is the physical feature that is in question not the extent of the area that holds that name. The name can easily be tagged separately on the agreed political boundary. > >
