<html><head></head><body>Yeah I posted a question about this last week: <a href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/44763/tagging-us-national-forests">https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/44763/tagging-us-national-forests</a><br>
<br>
To me landuse=forest is pretty clearly incorrect. It should be boundary=protected_area,protect_class=6 and the rendering rules should be patched to make it appear similar to leisure=national_park.<br>
