    I'd also be happy with water (even though I'm still slogging through
    FHRS data)<br>
    <br>
    One thing which needs agreement is the tagging of areas of water,
    especially the waterway banks:<br>

    This is appears to be the accepted method although a few do still
    advocate:<br>

    In GB, riverbank outnumbers water=river greatly:<br>

    <br>
    But I'm not convinced it's a valid reason not to improve the data.<br>

    A forum discussion with some valid arguments:<br>

          There are 15,825 ways tagged source=NPE + waterway=* and an
          additional 23,146 with lowercase npe. So plenty based
          originally on old data that can be improved upon.<br>

        I will set up a tag script in the next few days to track
        progress of source=NPE/npe + waterway=*. Any other things that
