Yes, that's a very good idea. In my mind, the new tagging and rendering should be something like this: waterway=stream intermittent=yes rendering: just like a normal stream, but dotted Of course, for the really big ones like the LA river: waterway=river intermittent=yes rendering: just like a normal river, but dotted And finally, to give defined edges where applicable: waterway=riverbank intermittent=yes rendering: a filled polygon colored almost like regular land, but with a slight brownish tint (to suggest moist soil). Of course, such a polygon should also have a dotted blue line running down the middle, resulting from the actual intermittent river feature, which would make the meaning obvious. -- David "Smith" a.k.a.
