I don't think either is enough. In order for things to render correctly, the standard way when tracing is to create smaller closed polygons -- the Charles River is a set of 10 or so, I believe. I don't know enough about water to know if other things will work, but I do know that the 0.6 API switch will 'split' any way over 2000 nodes; perhaps there is some documentation related to that talking about what will be one or how to wavoid problems...
