These canals have British Waterways as the operator, but that was replaced by Canal & River Trust in 2012.

How does the "motorboat" tag differ from the "boat" tag in usage? Are the two exactly synonymous, or is there some difference in usage that isn't obvious from the wiki pages?

Comment from f00bar
My understanding is that boat=* is a superset, including but not limited to non-motorized boats.
One could even argue, based on the icons/signs used on the wiki pages (the crossed-out rowboat/propeller), that boat=* in fact applies only to non-motorized boats, whereas motorboat=* applies to motorboats only.

It's a canal. All kinds of boat are welcome. What sign on the ground are you using to add this tag?

Comment from f00bar
I'm adding these tags depending on navigability, to allow for proper routing across navigable waterways (e.g. using http://routino.grade.de).

Comment from chillly
So you are guessing - you haven't surveyed the area? Please don't tag for a router, it's just as bad as tagging for the renderer.
I feel this would be better to be reverted.

Comment from f00bar
I haven't surveyed all the canals on the ground, but I've checked whether they actually are navigable (they're all on wikipedia, for example) - there's no guesswork here.
We're mapping access=* for routing purposes on roads, why not for waterways? Unlike roads, the mere existence of waterway=canal doesn't imply that a body of water is navigable (either legally or practically). I think these tags add usability to OSM.
