Sorry to bring this back so much time later. I just want to confirm a detail.

The wiki also states that waterway=fairway should be used on ways and that seamark:type=fairway should be used on closed ways, so I believe that a complete description includes both a navigable area and a line through it (which is typically a requirement for routing). If you agree, I think the conflict note should be removed from the wiki.
