Ordinarily, I do tag the Thalweg as waterway=river, and then the outline as waterway=riverbank (or natural=water water=lake, or landuse=reservoir as appropriate). That appears to be what the Wiki recommends. I do try to maintain a continuous flow line. I haven't done a lot of waterway tagging, but I've certainly done some repair of other people's accidents with the banks of major rivers, and that's how I've done it. It seems to render appropriately, and I've heard no complaints. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
