Hi Wouter,
I find it works best if a river’s edges are closed polygons and tagged as a areas (i.e. “riverbank”) instead of lines. A riverbank can then assigned to a multipolygon using the “outer” role. If using the ID editor to convert lines to areas, you may have to type the new tag into a slot under “All Tags”. Any islands can be tagged as an “area” and assigned the “inner” role for the corresponding riverbank outer polygon. To avoid exceeding the 2000 node upload limit, several abutting multi-polygons may be needed along the length of a river. One example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/45.9323/-111.4986 Good luck!
