[Talk-GB] Quarterly task

[Dave F]

I'd also be happy with water (even though I'm still slogging through 
FHRS data)

One thing which needs agreement is the tagging of areas of water, 
especially the waterway banks:

This is appears to be the accepted method although a few do still advocate:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Driverbank

In GB, riverbank outnumbers water=river greatly:

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/water=river#overview

But I'm not convinced it's a valid reason not to improve the data.

A forum discussion with some valid arguments:
