This is where I would spend a lot of time working through all the possible tags
and coming up with the best approach for each layer. We did this in NZ and you
can see an example here -
http://linz2osm.openstreetmap.org.nz/data_dict/layer/boatramp_cl/info/
<http://linz2osm.openstreetmap.org.nz/data_dict/layer/boatramp_cl/info/>. Do
not tag for the renderer - Others may well create their own maps which do
render the content. I wouldn’t 'dumb down’ any tags either. Orchards already
have a deep tagging scheme which allows you to specify the crops that are
planted - http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dorchard
<http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=orchard>.
You may also have some specific types of landform that is unique to your
area/culture. We did make up some new tag - For example we have pa sites in NZ
which are unique to our country and none of the other historic tags really fit
well. You should probably document these new tags on the OSM wiki.
In short if there is relevant content that can be imported it is better to go a
bit deeper in tagging rather than lighter. Just spend the time proposing,
debating and refining your tagging scheme (Some of our discussions went back
and further 5 times before we settled on the best approach).
Good luck.
