Has been probably mentioned before, but waterway=riverbank is quicker to
read than natural=water+water=...

So much that I am wondering if it makes any sense to use the totally redundant
and often plain wrong natural=water at all.. as many of those objects are not 
natural.

Instead of natural=water+water=XXX just use water=XXX
