Emmor, regarding the classification based on what mapper sees, it is hard to 
do. Because to make rivers into a network, you must consider the whole network. 
That's a bit like with highways: you cannot choose its type based only on what 
you see (except for highway=motorway, of course). My proposed classification 
requires only checking wikipedia or another source for river parameters. So I 
assume that is already much simpler that tagging highways, and would help map 
style authors and other data consumers a lot.

There's another, more general problem with making waterways network consistent. When there's a lake (or some other water reservoir), we don't tag a river running through it in general. Maybe we need some special role in relation:waterway (link) and waterway tagging (waterway=river_link, waterway=stream_link)? It would be probably useful for boat routing.

Or I miss something?
