<div>Thanks for the clarification, Pierre.<br>
Actually, I tagged the relation both with
natural=water, water=river and waterway=riverbank as
advised in the wiki (see New Tagging) I assume this is
the recommended way to do it?<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">When I trace new rivers polygons, I now
use natural=water + water=river for the closed
way/multipolygon relation. This tagging makes much more sense
than waterway=riverbank, wherein you sometimes have a way
crossing across the river to close the polygon but the
crossing part is not a riverbank.<br>

<tt>Yes, that makes sense, I assume that's why they made the new
tag. Not sure if I should remove the old tag yet though - is the
new one rendered everywhere? <br>

And you reminded me of another thing there. I noticed that a
previous contributor made a small polygon on both sides of a
bridge, but as I made polygons for the entire river, I joined them
under the bridge so that the river multipolygon is continuous. My
thought was, it's layer=-1, so it'll appear below the bridge
anyway, and it's not like the river stops on each side of the
bridge - it still runs under it. I feel making river polygons
complete, including under bridges and dams, makes the most sense.<br>
