of course, but Mapnik is not the application to show everything which 
could be a modelling error.
Mapnik is a renderer for a map.

To find errors, use the database or specialized tools like the ones from 
Geofabrik.
If there is no tool for checking waterway directions, perhaps someone 
has to build one!?

If you can see errors at mapnik, that's good - but don't change Mapnik 
to visualize more errors.
