It doesn't fail so much because most of the time, landuse values are exclusive (residential, industrial, forest, etc). It is already enough complicated to add polygones or multipolygones for landuse. We can see that this is only done in countrysides or small urban areas but not in towns/cities. We cannot ask people to create a second polygon which will most of the time be a copy of the landuse : "land covered by buildings used for residential" or "land covered by trees used for trees farm". I think we should better enforce landuse to be exclusive by removing the non-exclusive values like military.
