I've long suspected that local councils and other government bodies are
giving data directly to Google. I've seen developments turn up on Google
maps that couldn't possibly have been established with a survey. It's all
really shady. But at least we can say, even in this case, that OSM is the
more
ing details that
aren't present on older imagery rather than trying to get precise geometry
from it.

maps for many different things. Rendering is not a problem. Carto
handles it just fine already. But it does expect the intertidal zone to
be between a "coastline" and the edge of a tidalflat.

I don't really care either way but what would be the benefit of changing

The benefit is we don't have to arbitrarily draw the line somewhere. The
tidal limit is well-defined so it's easy to be consistent.

Yes, indeed. I regret not adding the version to the data I imported. I
suppose it could be determined from the date it was added to OSM. It
