I am saying that the land_use tag makes sense for in-ground pools, since they 
greatly reduce the odds of the land subsequently being used for some other 
purpose.  Yes, I know such reuse does happen on rare occasions; the city of 
Nashville, TN, closed all of its public pools in the 1960's rather than obey a 
court order to integrate them, and turned at least one of the pools into a 
sunken garden.
