<br>
The dock tag is currently using the waterway schema.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddock" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Ddock</a><br>
<br>
As enclosed water features, "have largely been replaced by natural=water <br>
+ water=lake/river" etc, and the waterway tag is largely for linear <br>
objects, what, if any, are the reasons for maintaining 'dock' as a waterway?<br>
