No. Plain language cannot be used to define what tags mean. Each tag
is actually a codepoint, not human language, and needs a definition.
That is fundamental to how tagging works in OSM.
Agreed, but the tag language should be close to human language where
possible
Why not simply call anything which is a 'large public area for
recreation', a park, and specify it additionally with additional tags?
Because we have existing norms, and it is not generally a good idea to
ask that tagging of thousands of objects be thrown out and redone.
OK, but I think that's what you're asking for if county parks, state
parks, and large city parks can't be tagged as parks.
