However, I don't think that is really necessary or even "correct". If there is a large residential area with some chunks of woods inside it should those chunks of woods not be considered residential land? That depends on how much detail you want I suppose, and the answer is subjective. I've mapped areas of farmland where the fields have 30 foot wide strips of woods between them and I just tagged the whole area as landuse=farm. Later if someone wants to add the strips of trees in I think it will be perfectly correct to have overlapping areas of natural=wood. I wouldn't consider those strips not a part of the farm just because they are trees. Zeke
