That would make the transition quite hard - the current data is based on
a different distinction and, as you say, the two are not
equivalent. Perhaps more importantly, broad-leaved vs. coniferous is the
obvious visual distinction and therefore more useful for rendering and
easier to identify without botanical knowledge (except in winter).

A separate tag (deciduous=yes/no?) would make more sense because the two
attributes are orthogonal.
