Rationale

Continents are in Map Features but not oceans. Map Features does not yet have good support for labelling marine features. This, in conjunction with place=sea, are proposals for top-level features. All oceans are already identified with this tag.

Proposal

For identifying and locating the world's oceans seas Wikipedia:Ocean:

• Arctic Ocean
• Atlantic Ocean
• Indian Ocean
• Pacific Ocean
• Southern Ocean

Tag values
