I think it would be as well to update the shapefile on a regular basis 
(maybe this is being done already). For instance near Warsash (Hampshire) 
a coastal footpath disappears into the water. This is because some 
lagoon-like salt marsh lakes (is that the right word?) are treated as open 
sea rather than inland lakes - so things like this will need correcting.
