landuse=forest doesn't make sense to me for something derived from
landcover.  I realize this is not well agreed on.   But basically
landuse and landcover are separate concepts in geography, and I think it
is not helpful to blur them.

So if you have landcover data that says there are trees, that's
natural=wood
