Yup, there are other features that have the coastline attribute(one side of the polygon is actually a coast) so any feature could be used. However, the 3 (coastal/non coastlal & unknown) are all common around the coast where mudflats are not.
So regarding this feature, i'll request the conversion to be 'nul' so it just shows as a empty polygon, and a note on the charts that simple 'natural=water' beyond the coastline is not approved for OSM as it is redundent. Have fun in Holland Frank, maybe you'll be able to make it to SOTM, since its also in europe?
