The one benefit of marking waterways layer=-1 (particularly for long
ones) is that it's protection against anyone else forgetting to set
layer=1. That is, someone else might draw a bridge over it somewhere
and not set the layer. Well, if the waterway itself is -1, that will
still behave the same.

(And there's no downside)
