[OSM-talk] Rendering of subterranean streams

[80n]

I think it would be useful to be able to distinguish between artificial and
natural tunnels.

waterway=river
tunnel=yes

can be rendered just like any other path through a tunnel.  An additional
qualifier, such as natural=yes could then be used to distinguish between
artificial culverts and natural underground rivers.

The River Mole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Mole,_Surrey is one such
example of a river that flows naturally underground for some of its distance
(hence the name).
