[Tagging] Tagging estuaries: estuary=yes or river=estuary?

[Dave Swarthout]

Then there is the additional problem that the terminal end of the way used
to indicate the waterway=river connects with the "coastline" which is where
the estuary portion of the river ends. I'm not clear about which object you
propose adding the estuary=yes tag to? Let me put it another way. If the
particular river is mapped using a way that terminates on the coastline,
where does the estuary tag get placed? I realize that some rivers are
mapped using just a riverbank area, i.e, there is no way to terminate, but
that still leaves my question unanswered.
