Chris, I don't know one about waterways, but for walking routes it is worth looking at Lonvia's hiking map (http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html) - I use this one.
I have had a bit of a go at learning how to create overlays for other things - I started with supermarkets (http://maps.webhop.net/supermarkets), and power stations (http://maps.webhop.net/power). There is another one ( http://maps.webhop.net/topo/) that combines a few overlays and some contours. It would be very easy to convert these to generate waterways overlays if you want to - I think they have an 'about' page. Note that these are served off my computer at home, so they load rather slowly - the upload speed on my broadband connection is not very good! For point data rather than images, it might be worth doing it a different way and using javascript to plot the points, but these simple images seem to work - they just take up a lot of disk space if you render them to high zoom levels. Let me know if you need any help. Graham.
