</div>I can explain some of the background to this - and I'll copy in<br>
Carsten, since I think he did some recent work on this. Basically, the<br>
long-standing (odd) tagging was working for Mapnik and Osmarender in a<br>
classic "tagged-for-the-renderer" kind of way. But when Garmin maps<br>
were produced with mkgmap, the Thames flooded. My post a few days ago<br>
was on the foot of a thread on the German list, looking to see if<br>
there was a reason it shouldn't be retagged with a view to adopting<br>
standard tagging and thus enabling it to work in all three cases (and,<br>
we'd hope, others).<br>
<br>
>From what I can see of work I did on the river Shannon, Mapnik does,<br>
in fact, kind of support riverbank, in that it renders a blue outline,<br>
but doesn't fill it with water. That's nothing that should cause a<br>
flood, though. Furthermore, a "nicer" flawed tagging scheme that will<br>
allow the fill is to add an additional natural=water tag to the closed<br>
riverbank way. IMHO, we shouldn't do this, as an ugly Thames is a good<br>
catalyst to provoke Mapnik support. It would in any case be a shame to<br>
reintroduce the coastline this far inland.<br>
<br>
Carsten, do you have any theories about the likely cause?<br>
