The problem with surface is that it is currently proposed (and used) to
describe two different things:
1) A property of certain object, which can be area, way, node...
2) What is on the surface of certain _area_ of land ("landcover").
Although there is currently no big overlap between usage (1) and (2) on
areas, I think it would be better to differentiate these two use cases,
so one can easily e.g. filter out and render only landcover map.
So what is the *exact* problem with surface?
Another advantage of specialized tag "landcover" is that in contrast
with surface it by itself implies area=yes.
So what is the *exact* advantage of landcover?
Sorry, this kind of vague "we might want to have xy because someone
might want to ..." is pretty much pointless.
