[HOT] Ocean in Latin America

[Philippe Verdy]

Most probably this is the "water bassin" of the Amazone river, which
was tagged incorrectly with some "water=*" that causes problems in
this rendering.
Water bassins for rivers (which do not include only riverbeds and
lakes/ponds, but also all surrounding lands whose drained waters on
soil are converging to rivers) should not use this tag.
This does not cause a problem however in the OSM Carto rendering. If
that tag was approved, then the rendering for humanitarian map should
be fixed (it is maintained by OSM France).
But if I look at the boundary, I only sea ways for small riverbeds.
So it is likely that some multipolygon for riverbeds areas of some
river has been broken and the renderers attempt to "close" it due to
holes, or that someone joined all these riverbeds into a single
multipolygon.
Given the size of the relation where it is used, this cannot be fixed in iD.
Note also that given the current delays in the OSM data servers for
data replication, this may be temporary and caused by lack of
synchronization of the slave database used by the French renderer for
HOT.
