why "seamark:*"?
This is historical. At the beginning of nautical navigation mapping, it was buoys, beacons, lights, etc that were being mapped. As is usual with OSM mapping, feature creep set in to include all objects listed in the IHO catalogue. In retrospect, a broader term than "seamark" would have been better, but like many other ill-fitting tag keys, we are stuck with it.
