    <p>For what it is worth (and I do not think much of that, myself!):
      the landuse tag is one of the most confusing and most misused.</p>
    <p>In my self-assigned job of mapping aerodromes, and improving on
      them, I often see tags like<br>
    </p>
    <p>landuse=grass</p>
    <p>and that seems incorrect to me, it ought to be surface=grass
      rather<br>
    </p>
    <p>Correct usage of landuse includes (in my very personal
      appreciation!) landuse=industrial, landuse=military,
      landuse=commercial, landuse=recreational and more such. What that
      means to the mapping of highways is beyond my comprehension; and,
      to be frank, beyond my interest. I only wanted to give my opinion
      on the general usage of the landuse= tag. Perhaps the best
      application of the landuse tag to highways - but also to railways,
      canals, aerodromes, &c, would be landuse=infrastructure or
      landuse=public_infrastructure</p>
    <p>NB wasn't there a dedicated mailing list about tagging?<br>
