The very first check of a 'reservoir' may well fail. One does not tag an artificially created body of water as 'natural' and many of the 'water' extensions to natural=water directly describe man made features. And the Idea that natural=water should wrap what are quite clearly man made waterway features just reinforces that and while the effects are small, many parts of the world even 'coastline' is now a man made construction. But the 'tags' list is probably the place to open a discussion on this ... not that I bother following it ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
