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

I like it too, but I propose another landuse value: vegetation. Vegetation is a general term used for plants, without reference to species etc, which could be further specified:

For example

landcover=vegetation
vegetation=pine

or

landcover=vegetation
vegetation=grass
vegetation=bushes
vegetation=...


This would enable a more detailed description of a forest, for example.
