Thank you all for your comments. Dealing with 'disused' was nice and easy - I have deleted disused locks altogether and changed disused canals to a fainter, dotted line (see just north of Carnforth near Lancaster). I am not sure I have ever seen a 'disused' canal - does this mean a ditch, or just an overgrown, impassable canal?
I have also prevented locks being shown until you zoom in to zoom level 10. Updated version now rendering at http://maps.webhop.net/canals, using the mapnik style http://maps.webhop.net/canals/canal2.xml.. Adding navigable rivers is a good idea, but will take more doing because my database does not include the 'boat=' tag - I will have to re-import the whole uk, which takes a few hours....... Are there any other waterway specific tags that should be included? What points of interest should a waterways map highlight - I only have locks at the moment, because I remember these being the interesting part of canal boating, but I can add other things - especially if anyone would like to draw an icon for it - otherwise we will end up with another one of my dodgy drawings!
