I expect this to be rare though. > I'd suggest a slight change of wording to clarify it even further: "A navigable route in a lake or sea. If the navigable area is marked by buoys or navigation markers, it should also be mapped with seamark:type <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seamark:type>=fairway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dfairway>." So waterway=fairway applies anywhere, but if it's a "major" (marked) channel, then it also gets seamark:type <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seamark:type>=fairway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dfairway>. Does that work? Thanks Graeme
