Hi,

While looking around on the map at the port of Antwerp I noticed some 
docks are tagged as a waterway=dock as well as canals (waterway=canal) 
which results in a somewhat messy rendering ... any ideas on this? (do 
docks need to be tagged as canal as well)? 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/51.2551/4.3808)

Further when looking at the wiki the definitions of dock=tidal and 
dock=floating seem somewhat mixed up (see wikipedia @ 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_dock_(impounded) and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_(maritime)#British_English ) ... 
could someone confirm this?

Thanks,

Michaël

PS: In maritime environments OSM is used quite a lot (indirectly)
