[Tagging] Giant river multipolygons

[Richard Mann]

I think you are misinterpreting the one feature "rule". It's about trying
to avoid situations where there are two versions of the same thing (eg an
area-which-can-be-resolved-to-a-point and a node), not situations where
there are multiple parts to a single whole.

The Danube river is perfectly adequately made whole by looking for
name:en=Danube. Get the computer to do the work, not mappers.
