IMHO, landuse is not stacked, at least not in a case like this (there may
be some exceptional situations, eventually). The fact that the landfill is
overgrown still makes it a landfill, and all the toxic stuff is still
there, just covered by a thin layer of soil and vegetation.



Or shall I consider landuse=landfill as a functional tagging, hence

that's a good question. Landuse is not completely consistent. There are a
few landuses like quarry, landfill and even "harbour" which do not
integrate well with the other landuses because these mentioned are
typically used _also_ for features (i.e. if you split a landuse=quarry, you
will have 2 quarries, opposed to e.g. landuse=residential, which simply
says this area is used as residential area, and if you split it, the
meaning remains the same, i.e. it is a property about the use of land).

A possible solution would be the introduction of feature tags for these
outliers, e.g. man_made=quarry, man_made=landfill / waste_dump, seaway=port
/ cargo_port / fishing_port etc.
