I have the same problems to understand the proper tagging of landuse, natural, leisure it's entirely confusing when you dig deeper....
rendering doesn't make it better a national park is a boundary. there is no feature on ground. - first it should be rendered as a boundary. - second it's common to render it in other maps as a green background where all other features are on top. but landuse, natural are rendered in random order and tagging a forest, meadow,... inside the park is impossible with the current tags. some will be visible some won't I know we don't tag for the renderer but there should be something in place similar to existing maps.
