and from "maintained or managed woodland", to any group of trees, because after all, trees on a community square, in a park and in a garden are managed as well. At least that is an argument I have heard before. As soon as you start representing trees in a garden as landuse=forest only because the trees are maintained, don't you drop the woodland part (and thus landuse) and start using the tag as a landcover ? Aren't you mapping for the renderer then ?
