I thought we used natural=* for this kind of thing. For the different broad classes of vegetation discussed so far in this thread, there's natural=grass/scrub/wood. Of course there's natural=water. Other landcover types are uncommon in central Ohio so I'm not familiar with their tagging, but I thought we had natural= values for things like sand, bare rock, swamp, glacier, etc...
So why is a new tag or hierarchy needed? Are we just trying to standardize or formalize a presently-haphazard array of tags or values?
