let me just repeat that ...
"In OSM meaning of word used as key frequently has nearly no
relation with meaning of tag."
Unlike you, I do not read that as an endorsement of the practise
but as a lamentation.
I agree completely - but sometimes people try to claim things like
"all landuse=* describe land use, any tagging that contradicts this is
incorrect",
what is clearly not true (see landuse=forest).
Should we start to misuse other tags?
Should areas used to produce human produce from trees be tagged
leisure=tree_produce???
Or should that misuse be depreciated???
If so then landuse=forest can be depreciated. Replace it all with
natural=wood.
Then those who know and want to map a landuse, not just the existence of
trees, where trees are used for human benefit can chose to use a landuse
tag, say forestry, with a meaning in OSM that incorperates teh full tag
of 'landuse=forestry'.
