Hello -- I recently created a waterway where I put the name of the waterway on 
the relation but not on the component ways which are grouped by the relation.  
This results in the name of the waterway not appearing in the standard Map 
view.  I am wondering what current best practice is.  Should name be applied to 
both component ways and relation, or is application of name to relation 
sufficient.  To me, not duplicating data would seem to be the better overall 
practice, and duplication of name on relation and component ways would seem to 
be a case of tagging-for-the-renderer.  Thanks for your input. --ceyockey
