The tag "natural=bay" is currently not rendered as water. http://osm.org/go/ZZcCvI9g- How should this be fixed? Should Mapnik be changed to recognize these as water? Or should they be tagged as natural=water not natural=bay? |
Other bays like Botany Bay in Sydney are tagged See the discussion on this pull request where gravitystorm explains the rationale clearly. So you should open up the land polygon, or tag an area as natural=water (or whichever is appropriate), and only then add the natural=bay, probably with a name and often on a node.

Yes, I thought about changing the tags to natural=water/water=bay. Extremely similar tags are mentioned in the wiki (like water=cove), and as you say, water=bay is already in usage. So I'll take that as accepted procedure. Hopefully someone can update the natural=water and natural=bay wiki pages accordingly.

I'm not necessarily arguing against this solution, or saying it doesn't make sense, but I need to point out that water=bay is used only 14 times, while natural=bay is used over 32K times. I don't think you can call that an accepted procedure.

Maybe this depends on your definition/understanding of the term 'bay'.
But there was a discussion on doing this switch in the style: https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/5064 |
I've always tagged natural=bay on nodes only, here's why:
