  BTW. It is another advantage of landuse=reservoir schema. It forces
people creating map to understand that there ARE different classes of
water. Then they have to understand what those classes are (and why)
and choose which are appropriate in their particular products. If you
have an umbrella tag like natural=water most will simply go with such
simple where condition and therefore miss some very important things
(and create low quality maps, and will not learn important lessons).
