It is doing two things:

1. Providing significantly expanded, detailed definitions that better help
mappers make distinctions between these types of water bodies.  The
definitions offered by the original water details proposal [1] were only
cursory in nature.  For example, it defined pond as "usually smaller than a
lake" which while true, isn't really sufficient for a mapper wishing to
better understand the distinction.
2. Affirming the deprecation of landuse=reservoir in that same proposal,
which has been questioned by some users due to the specific language and
word choices that were used in that proposal to describe the deprecation.
