Rationale
At present users draw former riverbed as area tagged with natural=water when riverbed with flow (not wide river) draw as way tagged with waterway=river. But in fact these objects (former riverbed and riverbed with flow of not wide river) have exactly the same forms and characteristics exept flow. I think that drawing these objects with one primitives will be more correctly.
For example river Vetluga which have a lot of long and not wide former riverbeds.

Rendering
Rendering these objects same lakes (area) and rivers (way).
