On a related point, what's the evidence for tagging this:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/275675707

as a river?  I'm familiar with the area and I've never actually noticed 
it from the bridleway; if it was a river rather than some less 
significant waterway feature such as stream, wouldn't I have been 
expected to?
