[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - High seas

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Would this get around the problem of sea / oceans not being named e.g.:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=-28.0675&lon=153.4939#map=14/-28.0666/153.4835
, is part of the Coral Sea section of the Pacific Ocean, but comes up as
nothing found.

Thanks

Graeme
