In terms of topology, the idea from some that 'landuse' only applies to
land that is 'used' for something implies that large areas of the planet
are 'unused'? A single layer of areas defining the current 'landcover'
should be something that is managed even if that includes 'wood-managed'
and 'wood-unmanaged'. The current historic situation has never been
right but then so have other long-standing compromises in tagging.

In terms of the UK, Land Use and Land Cover is well defined with a set
of clear classifications
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-land-use-database-land-use-and-land-cover-classification
except they are not really THAT clear. In your rules #2 and #5 seem to
be at odds? and in the UK classifications, just how do you define the
wooded areas of a park ... which may or may not be 'managed' ... and are
combined with 'grassland' and other natural or managed landcover. We can
define landuse=park, but that park can have a lot of detail contained
within it ... We are looking to render blocks of trees, grass, and other
objects how ever created?
