About a month ago I did a bit of a cheeky mass-tag adding (e.g.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/31105704 and some surrounding
changesets), whereby I used Overpass to find all natural=water with
"Lough" in the name that didn't have a water tag and I added the
"water=lake" tag. :)

Yes. Many objects are old when there was only Landsat aerial imagery.
I was hoping that people would do the geometry fix up anyway.

Wow! I never knew about that plugin, and I was hoping there was
something like that. Thanks!
