A proposal[1] to recommend the tagging of oceanic seas as nodes rather than areas is now open for comments.
This proposal follows a community forum discussion[2] regarding the modeling of the Gulf of Mexico as a node rather than as a crude polygon. This change was made in [3]. This proposal would codify the practice of tagging seas as a node as a general practice. If approved, this proposal would create a recommendation that mappers not create complex "beast" mega polygons on top of the ocean (outside the coastline), such as the 5,400+ member Gulf of Saint Lawrence [4], as this practice is unnecessary for labeling.
