I guess not. And that should possibly be fixed. But if you're going to go with that wiki page rather than the common definition, culverts still aren't waterways. They're "waterway-related features". All the examples of waterways on that wiki page are open. A culvert is more like man_made=pipeline, type=drain. In any case, as I said, there's no reason the default has to be the same for *all* waterways. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
