  waterway=rapid
  At the time of usage it was deprecated (and plural), but I know what
that means and after each discussion on tagging list I'm less and less
inclined to propose/discuss anything here and evenmore editing the
wiki.

  My take is that cayaking info is added to be used for specific
purposes (well, cayaking) by specific people (cayaking enthusiasts,
cayaking service providers and tourists) so we know the practical
usage, we know cartographic requirements for data, look for suitable
tags in other places and use them, if there are none or they do not
fit the purpose - we add required tags. Important thing is that we can
distinguish each feature and if some more suitable tagging schema
emerges - we can always re-tag everything in a minute (and change
software in a day).
