Think we first have to get the tagging of landuse in general more consistent. In my region I still find it connected with highways. One user even did start to tag landuse as multipolygon-relations using the highways and therefor did split the highways in lots of short parts. As landcover=* is not rendered nor supported by many software, people use landuse=grass or even natural=grassland for small stripes of grass next to the road. The major question we have to solve is where does landuse end. * we do not have a tag for landuse=highway/road. Where does the highway end ? * where does landuse=farmland end ? In my opinion the field margin is still part of the farmland * how to handle tracks between fields ? There are some tracks which move from year to year All together I think the field margin can be tagged already using landcover=*, but if you want to tag it explicit you could think about a complete new tag like field_margin=yes or farmland=field_margin.
