One of the suggestions from last night was that we should make an effort to
put coastline data into OSM so that the renderers can use it without having
to load a separate dataset.
I've written a script to upload GSHHS "full resolution" coastlines data of
selected areas to OSM, and have uploaded some example data around the isle of
skye (57.3, -6.25)
There's a wiki page to describe the tags it's generating, and how to
recognise, delete, or render coastlines generated by that tool. The wiki
also has a screenshot showing what the example data looks like in JOSM.

So... comments? Should I run the tool and upload the whole UK coastline?
