<p>My view on the "dock-definitions":</p>
<p>dock=tidal : A dock which follows the tide of the river/sea it is
connected to, it doesn't have any locks. (example: Deurganckdock
Antwerp)</p>
dock=floating : "a <font color="#000000"><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_%28maritime%29"
title="Dock (maritime)">dock</a></font> alongside a tidal
waterway that maintains a constant level, despite the changing
tides." ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_dock_(impounded)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_dock_(impounded)</a> ).
This constant level is maintained by locks. I believe this is what
most people understand by "dock".<br>
The "impounding"-part in the wikipedia definition
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_dock_(impounded)#Impounding)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_dock_(impounded)#Impounding)</a>
refers to the operation of maintaining this high level (naturally vs
mechanically).<br>
<br>
dock=drydock : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dock">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dock</a> (listed
correctly in OSM wiki).<br>
<br>
What currently is stated as the definition of "dock=floating" in the
OSM wiki is imho just a specific type of drydock (a floating
drydock).<br>

tides? I did not seem to find a tag for that, did you guys?

<pre wrap="">
Is that a dock after all ? According to the wiki page for dock
"The waterway=dock tag is used to identify an enclosed area of water
for ships and other craft within which the height of the water can be
managed."
If it is not managed (i.e. affected by tides), it's not a dock ?
