Actually, there is a difference.
If grass is grown for a purpose (be it grazing or mere decoration)
it's landuse. If it's
there naturally and not used (by man) for any purpose (or incidental

then it's landcover. At least, that's how I see it.
I see grass as grass. If it's maintained by humans, that should be
described in sub-tags, not in different key tags. Something like:
landuse=grass
municipal_maintained=yes
The same problem occurs with woods, where natural/landuse is used to
differentiate whether it's human managed. (In fact it's often further
misused to describe density of the trees). Again all 'adjective'
descriptions should be recorded in sub=tags.
