A simple place=locality gives no hint to a renderer that this is a water 
feature, and I can easily imagine a map style where one wants to do something 
special with those, like using blue text.

Look at this example from northern Sweden, where features in the river 
(Bredselet, Trångforsen and Vidselet) have lent their names, but in different 
grammatical form, the the nearby villages/hamlets of Bredsel, Trångfors and 
Vidsel.

(Follow there river and you'll see several other named rapids (-fors) and 
stretches of smooth water between them (-sel).
