Ocean covers maritime landuse features

[meetar]

• What did you see?

There are landuse features of kind: nature_reserve and kind: park in various places in the ocean, typically around islands, and visible in the explorer with transparent drawing styles – but the feature introspection rollover can't reach them because the ocean features have a higher sort_rank. When drawing these with the default opaque styles, the landuse "peeks" through the holes in the ocean, and the rollover works there.

• What did you expect to see?

I'd expect any landuse features to have a higher feature_order than ocean features. (I agree that it's preferable to have all other water features at a higher order over land.)

• What map location are you having problems with? City and country are helpful, as well as tile coordinates or latitude / longitude.

This is "works as designed", but I agree it would also be nice to know the edge of the polygon to continue over the water. (If someone wanted a particular landuse draw above the water we could reserve an empty sort_rank for that, but wouldn't modify the default.)

We might consider generating boundary: true line features for a small set of landuse layer features like we do for water now (wouldn't need to do geometry calculations, just a new line feature from poly).

Similarly we might include the polygon fill for native reservations either in the boundaries layer (probably not landuse layer).

This came up again recently, with a desire to know also in the POIs layer if the "park" was a "maritime" over the water park or now – odd to see tree icons in the ocean ;)
