It was my understanding that landuse=* always means what the land is presently used for. Zoning would be a different tag like zoning=*. Yet there are still two uses of landuse: how people use a parcel of land (or larger area) vs. how a portion of that area is covered. In the latter use are values like forest, grass, and reservoir, where a larger area may support that use. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
