Ok.
So looking at this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1693549
The riverbank multipolygon is closed otherwise this would not render.
It is a relation made up of 5 ways.
Are you sure you are loading all the data?
There are also limits on how many nodes you can have in a way, that's
why larger lakes rivers etc are made up of numerous ways in a
multipolygon relation.
I'd suggest rather than changing the osm data you modify the data in
QGIS and then generate the map.

yes I would just be closing the river bank ways.
And yes I am tagging for the renderer. I am making maps for my
employer, in QGIS and mapinfo, and wanted to use the OMS data imported
as lines and polygons as part of my background.
For this to work with the QGIS importer the river banks need to be
closed so as to become polygons.

Guess it depends on how you go about this.
I'm guessing that you intend to create waterway=riverbank[1]
multipolygons for the rivers and leave the waterway=river[2] in
place marking the centerline of the river.
If so should not be a problem.
Be careful that you are not tagging for the renderer though. As this:
"Having the wide rivers as closed objects means that waterways
import as polygons and that makes making good looking maps easier."
sounds very much like manipulating the data to create the output
you want.

HI,
I recently downloaded the openstreetmap data for parts of South
East Queensland. When I imported this data into GIS, I found
that the waterways were not always closed objects. Having the
wide rivers as closed objects means that waterways import as
polygons and that makes making good looking maps easier.
Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I closed the waterway
ways on the wider rivers in SEQ?
