The Great Lakes in North America are freshwater lakes that are tagged as coastline.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 8:33 AM, Frank Steggink <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:steggink@steggink.org" target="_blank">steggink@steggink.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

On the other hand, the Houtribdijk (dijk Enkhuizen-Lelystad) is a dam, but that is not indicated by the coastline. See <a href="http://osm.org/go/0E7zb56--" target="_blank">http://osm.org/go/0E7zb56--</a> The waterbody to the northeast is called the IJsselmeer (IJssel lake), and to the southwest is the Markermeer again.<br>
<br>
I think that the big lakes (IJsselmeer and Markermeer) should be tagged as coastline. They form a distinct part of the outline of the Netherlands. The Gooimeer, and the other lakes bordering Flevoland (like Veluwemeer, etc.) are not.<br>
<br>
Actually, that would be tagging for the renderer, which is bad. (The bigger lakes are freshwater lakes.) Shouldn't coastlines be reserved for the coasts of seas and oceans only?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi!<br>
<br>
Any reason why the coastline should go around a bridge?<br>
