I like that choice of features that should be imported into OSM. They're standard for pretty much any road map that people use, besides the hydrology network, but web maps like Google have rivers & creeks without making it look messy so we could get away with it. The water features will especially be useful in the Canadian Shield where there are thousands and thousands of lakes, only low res imagery available, and not many people to map the areas (I'm sure it'll also be an excellent complement for hiking/off road trails too).
