Yes, I'm happy now that they're using the term to apply to both types of 
boat launching facility.

Anyhow, I've changed the tagging to show "highway=service" to the 
approximate high water mark, then "leisure=slipway" for the couple of 
hundred metres of way from there down to the present water level.  And 
I've tagged the joining node as "leisure=slipway" as well.

If I want to draw attention to the fact that the "slipway" tag needs to 
apply to significantly-long ways as well as to nodes, where's the 
appropriate place to do that?
