How do you do this conversion? Are you using the coastcheck tool or OSMCoastline
or something else? Both don't do the smoothing/data reduction you describe, so
there must be something else. I'd be interested in how you do that part, because
its not so easy to do polygon generalization without introducing geometry
errors.
