That would be a great help. It just struck me that it should also detect
where a coastline way doesn't meet with another coastline way (or loop
back on itself).

If it helps, it occurs to me that any line drawn through a map should
cross coastlines in alternate directions. You could test the  lines
making the borders of the downloaded area, then draw lines that pass
through any ways that haven't been tested already.
