<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To tag the river as you suggest, natural = water,
would I feel loose some information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess the better route would be to tag it as
waterway = riverbank, but make each section of the river an area rather than
just two parallel lines, and then get the mapnik rule file changed to render
this</FONT></DIV>

areas</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I would liketo get a decent fill on large
rivers should I set the value to natural = water? I would like to get a solid
representation and not the current thick lines rendering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> On a similar note I have
a large lake that is very ugly, it is crossed by a roadway and for whattever
reason the fill wanders in and out of the feature. I'll see if map lint helps
and I've already tried readrawing the whole thing, guess I'll try try
again.</FONT></DIV>
