indeed and as they are getting more widespread more variations can be
expected.
Recently a small river nearby was converted to a fishpass where a weir
was previously. Thus it is definitely a river and a fishpass at the
same time and I have seen kayakers going down there.
So using a particular watervay value is no longer fitting but at the same
time I don't like using more and more top-level keys to describe particular
properties of waterways if there is no reason to believe that for example
the fish_ass property will be ever useful to any non-waterway object.
