So long as we start with "natural=trees" which renders as a big green area and has the name (where given) in the middle, there's no problem. We can have wood=deciduous and wood=eucalyptus with appropriate tiled symbols, and if somebody uses wood=martian then it just defaults to a green area until we have a new symbol for alien arborea.
