That would be ok most of the time, but as others have pointed out there is always going to be things that aren't deemed coastline by most that meet virtually any criteria you can come up with. I think it makes most sense to map the coastline as the actual coast line, and anything that is "inland" should be mapped as rivers and what not regardless if they are tidal or salty or ... simply because most people wouldn't consider them to be coast line, they're rivers or what not. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
