<div style="overflow:hidden">The problem with landuse=reservoir is that often there is a situation<br>
where there is a parcel (legal unit of land under one ownership) that<br>
cotains some dry land, often wooded, and a reservoir (water). The<br>
purpose of the land is 1) to contain the reservoir and 2) to provide a<br>
buffer around it. Often it is signed "public water supply -- no<br>
trespassing".<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div>Looks like a perfectly valid case where the whole area should be "landuse"=reservoir, but only a subset of the enclosed area is actually water (as the buffer is a legally integral part of the reservoir it seems logical to include it into the landuse).</div>

Originally, the MassGIS openspace import had these land parcels tagged<br>
as landuse=reservoir, which made them all blue. </div></blockquote></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div>Yes, but this is another problem (specific rendering rules). Even if sometimes it looks like it was, the rendering on the main page isn't the measure of all things(?). IMHO the main mapnik style is overemphasizing landuses, where actually other area tags would be more interesting for many map users, e.g. place-areas, landcover areas, etc., this would also prevent us from senseless tags like landuse=grass.</div>
