Of course I'm aware of river mapping scheme. I do not propose to alter waterway=river/stream/anything. The main point of this proposal is to mark what natural=water on an area means. Is this area a lake, a pond? We have no means to determine that now. But also in this proposal I point out that waterway=riverbank does not differ much from natural=water, and suggest to map it with natural=water + water=river. Also, for landuse=reservoir I propose using natural=water + water=reservoir, because it makes reseirvoirs mapping consistent with other water bodies. I've added natural=water to all possible value examples, to make the proposal clearer. > I realize this is a proposal page but as a general note on wiki > creation, I believe there should be no examples of XML code. I used wrong proposal pages as example, as it seems. The example is remade now.
