[Tagging] How to tag named group of named water areas?

[Javier Sánchez Portero]

I'm not arguing about any particular tagging, but I would like to point the
fact that the map you send uses different colours for Three Lakes and for
the named lakes (Chloya and Twin Islands lakes). The lakes have blue labels
denoting that the name is for a water body while the group of lakes is in
black typography. I think it means that the name of the group denotes the
diffuse region where the lakes are placed.

Cheers, Javier
