landuse=forest was burned for purposes of tagging forestry land use - of
anyone cares about it they should use a new tag (that probably needs to be
invented).

Using this tag to mark forestry areas seems to be quite tortured
interpretation.

Nature reserves of for, well, nature reserves that are not limited to forest.
That may be in some regions limited to forestry areas but it would be a local
quirk.

So be tag should be invented by someone who cares about it.
