[OSM-talk] waterway=river, central way

[Steve Chilton]

The rendering of the riverbanks is because waterway has an Else filter
in place and picks up waterway=riverbank.
So although not explicitly filtered that is why it shows, and that is
what would show if it WAS rendered explicitly, ie an outline with no
fill.
The actual problem is I think to do with area fills of river estuaries.
If someone can un-muddy the water on this one (yo a pun) I am happy to
render riverbanks if required.
NB: natural=water may be deprecated, but it is used a fair bit - as far
as I can tell without searching for numbers - and is in the render file.

Cheers
STEVE

Ok! Further, I just noticed that the areas I considered to be correctly
rendered in fact had still "natural=water" set, which is now apparently
deprecated -- the centre way locked to the coastline or not was maybe
just coincidence. Are there plans to change the Mapnik rendering
accordingly?

Thanks! Ulf
