        <div>I personally like the idea of landcover, and I think it was
          a good idea when Martin introduced it 11 years ago (well
          before my time on the list) but it hasn't gone to a vote or
          really caught on in actual tagging.  For example,
          landcover=water is certainly superior from an ontology
          perspective to natural=water (which includes man-made
          reservoirs), but alas here we are.  </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>In an alternate universe where landcover was a widely
          accepted/used tagging scheme, you might imagine that
          landcover=landscaping could be a valid top-level tag, with a
          collection of landscaping=* tags to further define the type of
          landscaping.</div>

    <p>No .. I don't see landscaping as a land cover but as a process of
      establishing and possibly maintaining a particular land cover/s.</p>
