Is forest starting immediately on the water edge or is there a
beach/marsh/whatever betweenwater and forest?
With shoreline as border of both water and forest it is OK to reuse it, if
there is - evencurrently unmapped - feature between them then reusing ways is
only going to make
life of future mappers more irritating.
