c1), probably OK, c2), doesn't this change with crop rotations fairly
often (if not annually)?

a) & b) I had always understood landuse to be for, er, use of land &
therefore the whole thing; I can see how this wouldn't work with the
others though. I would think this tag wants applying per field/area with
a qualifying tag to specify the type, so 'a farm' would be a bunch of
landuse areas - presumably tied together by a relation?

d) would be covered by the above. Waterway=ditch -es are liable to run
along boundaries, a hedge / fence linear marker would be nice to see in
map features. fenced=yes|no is all very well if it goes all the way round...
