/air == water/ is one of those things that makes me really smile and think on how wonderfully diverse we are...
but your examples are different to what I thought. In my examples it would be:
natural:ID=air
water:ID=danau
which I understand it would be overkill and probably better served by automatic
translation.
But you know, different languages/cultures have different sensibilities on how
two things may be diverse (/once someone told me that Eskimo people have dozens
of different names for "snow"/), so maybe there could be two things that for me
and you are both a "pond", but for a Russian are two different things that must
be distinguished...
