I wrote the summary of the thread I started on Talk list regarding protected areas and nature reserves:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kocio/diary/42861

It's sometimes hard to tell which list is proper, because both tagging and rendering are discussed, so I guess such summary might be interesting here. Please, read the linked entry for detailed explanation, but in short I think we should:

1. Discourage leisure=nature_reserve and make it a subtag of boundary=protected_area (if needed, otherwise just use a protect_class=7 or other class if known), like:

  - nature_reserve=yes - 2 uses
  - protected_area=nature_reserve - 22 uses
  - protected_area=nature - 61 uses

2. Drop boundary=national_park, since it's easy to identify them all and they are equivalent for boundary=protected_area + protect_class=2 anyway.
