Nice.

It seems though they are reported in the same way in the results lists 
as river lines with 'River' which makes them hard to identify.  In 
principle i would have four major classes for water features:

* standing water areas (natural=water + water!=river/channel)
* flowing water areas (waterway=riverbank or natural=water + 
water=river/channel)
* waterways (waterway tag but not waterway=riverbank)
* waterway relations
