[Tagging] Fwd: [tagging] Canoe route / nautical channels

[Dave Swarthout]

"Direction of flow" isn't quite right for a canoe route that crosses a
lake. Also, it would be rare but not impossible, for a canoe route to move
against the flow when traversing a stream. But, unless someone can think of
a better way to word this, I'm okay with what's there. Such refinements can
be made in the route relation perhaps. Direction "forward" or "backward"
come to mind although I've never used them for a canoe route myself. The
only canoe route I've ever mapped can be traveled in either direction if
one wishes.
