it is not a last resort for cases where the mapper doesn't know what he is 
mapping, it is an orthogonal tagging scheme to map physical landcover as 
opposed to landuse and abstract geographic entities like natural (Forest with a 
name, vs. area used as forest vs. area covered with trees). All those tags have 
a meaning and may be put at the same time on the same piece of land, BUT: while 
natural objects (named entities) often make sense to be nested/ can overlap, 
landuse and landcover shouldn't
