      Like I said - this will wreck things like bridges and docs and buildings...

You don't understand my point. water wouldn't overlap anything since it has a 
transparent border. So sea will still keep it's ugly squared border (can be 
worked around since the real sea coast if made of shallow_sea, not deep sea) 
and nothing would overlap it (correct problem in town hall)
if you look at

      you 
may notice this is not a problem which appear from time to time but it is 
regular. And the port in Scorn now look weird now (well i suppose you intend 
to raise the roads level above the sea)
And i suggested it could be set as temporary. Cause reworking all maps to 
track those problems may be a pain and will need time.
