There certainly are discussions, I also found some proposal from 2009. But 
my point was that this discussion not in the context of an approved tag 
that typically has somewhat fuzzy borders. Why it's not a problem that 
would be worth to mention with wetlands but suddently a major issue with 
bays, I really don't know. It makes very little sense to me given how much 
easier the fuzzy part is to isolate from bays than from wetlands with 
a fully autonomous algorithm.
