I'd suggest a slight change of wording to clarify it even further:

"A navigable route in a lake or sea. If the navigable area is marked by
buoys or navigation markers, it should also be mapped with seamark:type
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seamark:type>=fairway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dfairway>."

So waterway=fairway applies anywhere, but if it's a "major" (marked)
channel, then it also gets seamark:type
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seamark:type>=fairway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:seamark:type%3Dfairway>.

Does that work?

Thanks

Graeme
