The following

no, that should be water


> *forest (most uses, but some such as national forests should remain landuse)


no, I would make this tree. Use landuse=forest for what you want to describe


> *grass


+1


> *meadow


no, that's grass


> *orchard


no


> *reservoir


no, that's water


I think there is a misconception here: I don't want to abolish
landuse, I want to add landcover additionally to describe the actual
physical landcover.

If there is for example
landuse (or natural) = beach
landcover could be sand or rock or pebbles

cheers,
Martin
