*All* groups of trees are 'natural' so there should only be one primary tag. All "purposes" should be within sub-tags.<br>

Some info on how/why forest/wood tagging is used in Lithuania. I will<br>
not give specific tags (forest vs wood, landuse vs natural etc),<br>
because in my opinion that is a secondary issue. Let's say we have<br>
tags F1 and F2.<br>
<br>
F1 is for general forests. Those are the ones depicted on small scale<br>
maps (full country/region).<br>
<br>
F2 is for small wooded areas INSIDE other polygons, usually inside<br>
residential, commercial, industrial zones.<br>
<br>
This approach ignores utility as such (managed, non managed, natural,<br>
left for full nature cycles as mention in Oleksiy's post). This<br>
information could be added as a sub-tag if needed for some thematic<br>
maps or specific statistical calculations.<br>
<br>
What I'm saying is that maybe we should:<br>
1. first decide the PURPOSES of having "tree cluster" polygons tagged<br>
separately.<br>
2. Then PRIORITISE the purposes (based on ACTUAL usage ignoring all<br>
"it could theoretically be used to/for...")<br>
3. and then decide which info goes to primary tag, which goes to<br>
secondary tag(s).<br>
4. And only THEN decide on actual tags (keys, values).<br>
Doing it the other way round will take us back to this forest<br>
discussion as it has been here for the last ten years like discussing<br>
what the words "forest", "wood", "natural", "landuse", "landcover"<br>
etc. actually mean.<br>
