[OSM-talk] Large Rivers

[Chris Hill]

Hmmm, you're right, Mapnik render of riverbank is not as good as I thought.  It would be good to get this sorted out.  waterway tags feels better than natural=water, but that said breaking up the river into arbitrary chucks doesn't feel right either. 
cheers,
Chris
