Looking at the wikipedia articles, paleochannels and oxbow lakes
are different things, formed by different mechanisms, and (at
least on a ground survey) different physical characteristics.

Those examples don't have the characteristic horseshoe shape of
an oxbow lake.

It's possible it needs a new tag under natural, with a subtag
indicating if it's wet.
