An interesting link, I am looking at it now.

FYI, I have started experimentally mapping coral reef edges visible on landsat with a subsea=coral_reef way tag.  I'd welcome anyone else to join in and share thoughts.  

I feel there should be a high-level "subsea=" tag to map point, lineal and area features that are always or normally underwater.  The other main value I've started using is subsea=channel, name=xxxx  for names of channels, sounds and straits gleaned from out-of-copyright maps.
