Clarification:

The Openstreetmap Carto style (which is used on the "Standard" map
layer of openstreetmap.org) does not render place=ocean or place=sea
or place=continent.

The only features discussed which are currently getting rendered are
natural=strait and natural=bay*.

Currently Openstreetmap Carto and the other 3 map styles on
openstreetmap.org are raster maps, with pre-rendered tiles stored on
the servers, so it will take a fair amount of work to make the
technical changes to render server-side vector tiles and show
different languages to different users by rendering different raster
tiles when requested.

If you want to see this happen, we could use more volunteers with the
time and ability to work out the issues.

*  (I personally tried to stop rendering bays and straits at low zoom
levels, since I think it is a mistake to render these without
place=sea, and to encourage mappers to create huge multipolygons to
get the rendering)
