I like it. Presumably it's to be precise - you draw only the area that's covered by said landcover, as opposed to landuse which can include small amounts of others within its boundaries. The following landuse values should then be landcover: *basin (probably) *forest (most uses, but some such as national forests should remain landuse) *grass *meadow *orchard *reservoir and possibly others. I would go further and have landuse=agricultural with the current landuse values like farm and greenhouse_horticulture changed to landcover. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
