Ok, that's a reasonable intent. But not a reasonable method, because
the heuristic is flawed, because "storing the result of an osm query
in osm data" is bad practice, and because a list of "normal" trees is
insanely harder to maintain than a list of "special" trees.

So there's not much to redeem the tag AFAICS. I'm happy to see it
deleted from objects, surely starting with that one import and then
double-checking the other changesets.
