Are you claiming that the land *is used for* grass? That the purpose man has put that piece of land to is just "grass"? surface=grass yes, landcover=grass maybe (and if it's the "natural" bit you're objecting to, you might be able to justify man_made=grass) but landuse=grass absolutely not. Landuse is for general planning/zoning classification, such as residential, industrial, mixed etc. The feature that has a grass surface will be something else, something more specific like a park, a residential garden, a meadow, a field (landuse=agriculture), or maybe the grass is just there because *something* has to be (e.g. the centre of a roundabout). You're using a tag originally intended for a sociopolitical construct (land use and zoning) to show a physical characteristic of the land (what it's covered with). The two are only loosely connected at best, and a surface covered with grass can be put to many different and mutually exclusive *uses*.
