There has been discussions about this on the talk list.
From what I understood, I'd say:
- If the border is legally bound to the stream, and should move with it in 
case its path change, then you should tag it on the same way (or share the 
nodes).
- If it is actually on the same path than the stream, but must stay where it 
is in case the stream path change, then draw a separate way, approximately 
over the stream, but not sharing nodes.
