  There are already protected areas under boundary [1]. So reservoirs
  would be class eleven or 15.

This is perhaps not really the right place to discuss, but I think
boundary=protected_area is off.  The basic issue is that we (I) are
trying to denote landuse, not boundary.  Rendering the inside of a
boundary as an area just seems incorrect to me; boundaries are linear
features.   And "protected_area" is a kitchen sink concept.

I think this is the crux of the issue.  I am referring to reservoirs
which are hard to tell from lakes, other than the "public water supply -
no trespassing" signs.
