This proposal is interesting. Giving a rapid look on the CORINE classes, it 
seems bare soil is included in all other classes but it hasn't a class per se.

  *   CORINE 
library<https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index.html>
  *   333 Sparsely vegetated 
areas<https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index-clc-333.html>
  *   332 Bare 
rock<https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index-clc-332.html>
  *   331 Beaches, sand and 
dunes<https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index-clc-331.html>
 the most near imo.
  *   Many others, searching for "ground" and "soil" into the 
manual<https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/docs/pdf/CLC2018_Nomenclature_illustrated_guide_20190510.pdf>

It seems to me anyway those classes are looser than OSM's 😄

Thanks,

Maybe. I would be interested in specific
proposals.

I am not a land cover expert, but have come across a great number of obviously 
wrong land cover tagging in OSM.
Said this, why not try to use CORINE [1] definitions?

I think this is a great example why more specific tags are advisable to use in 
OSM than a generic bare ground tag.

What this picture shows is commonly known as desert pavement:

Apart from varying in size distribution and density as well as material of the 
stones these form a fairly characteristic surface that can and should be mapped 
distinctly.  As size of the larger stones strongly affects navigability, 
specifying that would be a valuable supplemental tag.
