I would consider this essentially mapping for the renderer - beaches do extent below the high water line obviously and natural=tidal_beach is not documented while equivalent established tagging exists (natural=beach + tidal=yes)
If the lowest parts here is still a beach (i.e. wave formed) or a tidal flat i don't know of course.

The wiki is very clear that the tag "natural = beach" is only for the part of the beach above the MHW line.
So what you refer to as established tagging is still in contravention of what is expected.

Well - the 'how to map' section on the wiki does not represent common mapping practice here and contradicts the basic definition of natural=beach as a landform.
The wiki by the way currently also says you should tag the part of a beach below the high water line as natural=shoal - which of course does not make much sense.
I would be open to clarifying the wiki in either way but using your concept would both require a lot of change in mapping all over the world and would cause additional problems (like which part of the beach the name tag is to be applied to).

Please don't do that, it is better to keep these discussion in the open.
Thanks Phl
