Let's keep in mind that landuse in OSM is actual landuse, while zoning is permitted land use. Another reason for misconceptions might be scale: usage restrictions/ settings are typically created on different scales (level of detail). IMHO in OSM we should try to get this as atomic as possible, because you can always create automatically a generalized version of mixed landuses, but you won't get the details from a generalized version. Public planning / registers (like the cadaster) usually (at least in Germany where I am aware of the details, but I guess this is also in other countries not too different, here: DE:"Liegenschaftsregister") go down even to a sub-site level, while the more known plans like the DE:"Baunutzungsplan" are done in a more generalized manner. cheers, Martin
