"coverage".
Seems like there is already landcover=tree in the database:

Could this not be collapsed into with "surface=*"? If not, what would
be the relationship/difference between "surface" and "landcover"?

Hi Sam,
Seems like some great work. I'm relatively new to contributing to OSM so
pardon what may be some ignorant questions that I have.
1. How does the spreadsheet fit in with the current process of managing Map
Features (RFC Draft, Proposal, Vote, etc)?
2. How will new users to OSM find this
cool thanks :)
I guess it makes the most sence for me to update the wiki page, i'll
try my best to answer you questions to make it easier for others who
see the page, and might have the same questions.
I'll aim to get it done by 1 weeks tim
cheers,
sam
