I was just about to suggest that they be moved, or visibly tagged, as 
OpenSeaMap specific, but I see that this has just been done a few days 
ago which is good. In my humble opinion, but I am not a seaman, trying 
to follow someone else's ontology is a first in OSM. It has already 
caused a lot of bad blood in the German community because - and again, I 
say this as a bystander - certain seamarks seem to ignore that standard, 
leading to them not being rendered and not properly shown in the editor, 
leading to OpenSeaMap contributors to actually assign *wrong* tags to 
them in order to make them show up on OpenSeaMap. I hope that has been 
fixed meanwhile.

Bye
Frederik
