is usage=headrace sufficient to describe it as a leat? IMHO not

Based on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage=headrace 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:usage=headrace>
it seems that usage=headrace has no uniform size size -

<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Canal_EDF_Oraison_5.jpg>
and

are both among examples, with drastic size differences.

I think that in this case, with only

usage=headrace
waterway=canal

tags even a perfect renderer would have a trouble.
