This is a proposal to be able to distinguish big lakes and reservoirs on one hand from small lakes (natural=water) and sea (natural=coastline) on the other.
There is a need to make the rendering of big lakes and reservoirs with more than 500 nodes distinguishable from small lakes (with less than 500 nodes) and seas. Especially if working with [[JOSM]]'s [[Lakewalker]] to create the outline of a big lake one has to choose {{Tag|natural|coastline}} - otherwise one would have to create a {{Tag|natural|water}} with say 20.000 nodes, (which makes loading in either JOSM or potlatch very slow) - or one has to manually split the 20.000-node-lake into water-subparts which is not a very nice solution. Coastline should be only applied to seas. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
