Let's assume that technocrats don't read this. :-)

There are 533 413 elements with the “leaf_type” key. Only 83 of them
have the value “palm”. This are 0.0156 % and certainly not “widely
used” at all!
I suppose you want to make a mechanical edit to change the existing 13
056 elements with type=palm. But you would change the description of

It would be harder to process and break existing data consumers.
I think that cascading tagging style - [leaf_type=broadleaved;
broadleaved=palm]
would be better.
It provides full information without growing list of valid values of
leaf_type.

Perhaps we can find a general simple tagging for palms.
key:genus and key:species expect the scientific name of a plant. These are
normaly not known to non-botanists.
you could also use common names, e.g. species:de=Ölpalme or

There are species and genus tags, but many mappers won't be able to
fill that those. Palm on the other hand is easy,
and makes a great map symbol also.
If you're not sure about the genus or species, you could also use more

It certainly seems to me that palm trees are different enough from what I
usually consider to be a broad-leafed tree to warrant their own leaf_type.

Palms are their own group of trees distinct from broad-leaved trees or
conifers and it makes sense to tag with a different value.

leaf_type=palm would loose no data, and still be recognizable as a
broadleaved leaf type.

A rendering engine can equate palm and broadleaved. Mappers are mapping

very frequently, and having this key name I think would reduce confusion.
“palm” is described explicitly as an example at

So it this seems to me that this is just a special case of broadleaved.
I have doubts in adding a new value which is just a special case of an
existing value – in the same key. We loose
