>From my experience, this should work. I have been processing coastlines with
a similar two-step process for a while, as "live" coastlines directly from
the data fequently are broken in several places.
- extracted all ways with coastline tags in osm format and mapped them to
new IDs outside the used ranges.
- fixed the broken areas manually in JOSM
- removed coastline tags from all other items
- mixed everything back together again for generation
