The use of landcover and landuse tags would help mappers and
consumers separate these features correctly.
So what do you think about:
Function tag (which might represent a lot of green forms):
landuse=urban_green
To me, "urban_green" is not a land use. I don't see "urban_green" as a
good value. What use is it put to? Park, recreation, something else?
The use of "green" implies a land cover .. not a good thing in a land
use key.
Form tag (which can be used for different functions):
landcover=mixed_vegetation
Mixed vegetation? Possibly better with separated values grass, trees,
shrubs???
For me it makes sense, since we could indicate different cases of form
and function properly. It also allows to use them separately if you're
not sure what the function is (surveying) or what is the form
(armchair mapping).
BTW: there is a discussion on osm-carto about rendering landcover tag,
which I reopened lately, since it does not look like done:

Many existing tags would be better depreciated and gradually migrated
to other more specific tags.
Exactly. My aim is not just to stop showing old tags, but rather to
stop abusing them and help people migrate them to something more
appropriate when needed.
Deprecation is just a tool when we can show that the current tag can
be better expressed in a different ways, but even if there is a valid
use for it, it's better to offload it and get back to the core meaning.
Any depreciation should include some suggestions for alternative tags -
so people have an idea of what to use in place of the depreciated
key/value. Possibly there might be more than one replacement.
