People do so and they even overlap landuse with natural.
I made myself a debug view for stuff like that and remove it. Either an area
is natural or it is used e.g. landuse. But IMHO there cant be a natural
in a landuse or vice versa.</pre>

<pre>Ever hear of 'native forest logging"??? Where native forests are harvested for their timber. And the native trees are replanted for future harvesting.

<pre>Note the key 'natural' is described as "describes natural physical land features, including ones that have been modified or created by humans." in the OSM wiki. I would prefer the key 'landcover' this this,
with other things in 'natural' being 'landforms' e.g. peak, valley.

This is all what i consider tagging for the renderer and it is caused
by the lack of alternatives for micromapping.
landcover may be one.</pre>

<pre>I think it is fitting things mappers want to map into OSM limited and inconsistent tags.
