<div>From all discussion, I get the feeling that both a new landuse or natural value are not going to succeed because it is controversial to add a new value. Some will, I think correct, oppose because it would fragment the vegetation tagging even further<br></div><div><br></div><div>I had a discussion with ZeLonewolf on Discord. Would there be support for a tag like landscaping=*? Possible values could be shrubbery | grass | trees/forest | flowerbed etc. For example on the following image: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/w4gAW6D.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/w4gAW6D.png</a> 1 would be tagged as natural=wood ( leave the discussion about how to tag the forest for now), 2 as landscaping=grass, and 3 as natural=tree. If 2 would have been low shrubbery for decoration, landscaping=shrubbery would be sufficient.<br></div><div><br></div><div>This tagging scheme would still honor for example natural=scrub from scrublands and natural=shrub from individual shrubs. Also, the landuse tag would be left untouched and still available to only tag real landuse (like residential and industrial). <br></div><div><br></div><div>Additionally, landscaping=* would allow to also properly tag the content of a leisure=garden and leisure=park in more detail. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Is this a workable solution?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,<br></div><div>Vincent</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div> </div>
