[Talk-ca] coastline or water polygon

[Daniel Begin]

Agreed with Paul,

The new version of Canvec (release 10) is compatible with the osm coastline
definition but still configured as multipolygon where the product is unaware
it is the ocean . For the moment, only BC and Northern part of Nunavut is
geometrically and correctly tagged.

The data in Nova Scotia in OSM is broken. Someone imported large
natural=water polygons on the coast over existing data. I fixed about half
of the imports and haven't had time to get back to the rest. The coastline
should *not* be mapped with natural=water.
