Landuse=highway does have some usage, and certainly the term forbidden
does not exist in OSM.

There is no such thing as available, if you think a new tag is needed
then you can use it.

Hi Phil,

I'm confused. If anyone can use anything, what is the meaning of having a vote about it?

That page says voting on landuse=highway was suspended 5 years ago, and there are more opposed to it than in favour.

There must be some distinction between "official" tags and home-made ones, otherwise how is the renderer to know what to do with them? If it is not rendered, and no-one knows it exists to be searched for, what is the point of adding it to the database? If I put landuse=ufo_landing_pad who would ever know that it is in there?

regards,

Martin.
