No.

Use waterway=riverbank to define the actual river banks then it will render nicer.  Has to be a closed area.

Here's an example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-19.2929&lon=146.8142&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF

The river is defined using waterway=riverbank upto about Rosslea then waterway=river after that.
