I think solution 2 is best. It cannot be too difficult to create a plug-in for JOSM that enables to characterize a full tile as land, sea, desert, saltlake, city or whatever comes to mind in the future and uploads those request to the server for inclusion in oceantiles.dat.
The main problem for josm users is to recognize that they are actually working on such a area, as there field of view is generally much smaller them a tile. It would require josm to implement a "tiles view" mode.

Currently, the forest is not renderered. Interested in ideas to approach this. So far I have come up with: 1. Use a relation type=enclosed to connect any node or way within the tile (role=within) to the enclosing landuse (role=enclosing). Change the data download to download the enclosing landuse whenever the enclosed relation is downloaded. Pros: Simple, easy to implement. Good for smaller enclosing areas. Can be maintained using JOSM Cons: Will be clumsy for large enclosing forests. 2. Expand the current oceantiles process from just water/land to include other landuse types using other colors as needed. Pros: Easier to maintain (for people who can cope with png2tileinfo) Cons: Hard to maintain (for people who cannot cope with png2tileinfo). More work to implement. Comments appreciated.
