I am sorry that i cannot make you see my point. That however does not affect its validity. Just for clarity i will repeat the core argument: Basic conceptual separation between different fields of mapping is absolutely essential for OpenStreetMap to function. We therefore cannot seriously consider mixing the mapping of physical extent of surface water cover on this planet (predominantly done with ways tagged natural=coastline) with culturally defined elements of the geography (that is using the same tag on ways to represent something not defined by physical geography criteria). -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
