Exactly, we should first clarify the proposed use of landuse=*. Is it considered for large areas or is it to turn into smaller and small areas. Part of it is just starting as more values are tagged and forests are spitted in parts as you add more specific tags. Second, we should clarify how to tag the borders. In my region the landuse is often tagged onto the highway cause of missing landuse=highway. In same parts all landuses were changed into multipolygons using the highways as borders and thus splitting the highway quite often. There I am usually not motivated to change any landuse as it is way to cumbersome. In Germany there are different restrictions about parking bigger vehicles in the street, e.g. your are not allowed to in "closed" residential areas but are allowed to in mixed, commercial, industrials. Think we need a different/new key for that, similar to the new boundary=urban in Brazil. Third we need to reorganize the structure for the key/values either by subgrouping or by adding missing values or by deciding that we do not need to use landuse everywhere but have other tags. Comparing are landuse, we are missing some values like civic and highway but landuse=religious simply does not fit. How about landuse=atheistic or even better tagging all landuse=religious, religion=atheist ? Please, once more use something else but not landuse=religious. Use operator=* and religion=* + denomination=* and some new key if needed but not landuse.
