Further to my previous message - I didn’t scroll down your email to see the second part of it - in my opinion the simplest solution to the issue of mountains, forests etc. is typification with E55 Type; this may affect E53 Places, if you can ignore time variation and think of them as natural and almost immutable features, as it happens for mountains, valleys etc; or, using again an E92 Space-time Volume with types for forests, vineyards, etc. (and also for populated places), all of which may change along time.
Typifying the general solution given in our paper fits also well with the Garden of the Hesperides or the Forest of Brocéliande.
