<p>Yes we actually have some of that up here too. I've chosen generally not to map it though as one cannot really verify it on the satellite photos, and here in the vast nature in north it's not really reasonable to visit all these places on foot so one have to rely on satellite photos for large parts of the nature.</p>
<p>I'm quite sure that overlapping polygons is not how one is supposed to do it though. Soggy forests should have its own natural type, in Swedish we call it "sumpskog", and the best fitting OSM tag for that seems to be "natural=wetland; wetland=swamp".</p>
<p>By the way, I've pushed an update of the Rimmjoáphe wetland now, removed the relation and made a multipolygon to span the river.</p>

<div>It does make sense to have overlapping wetland and forest, though. To take a swedish example: down here in 08-land (note to non-Swedes: Stockholm, telephone area code 08 :-) ), we get very little open bog, but a fair amount of soggy forest.</div>
