"Although <i>forest</i> is a term of common parlance, there is no
universally recognised precise definition, with more than 800
definitions of forest used around the world."<br>

This is part of the OSM problem - It's been misappropriated as a
verb to indicate that work is performed on a group of trees &
also merged to include a few of those 800 variations (size, density
etc). Using sub-tags some of those numerous definitions can, where
appropriate, be added.<br>
<br>
Separating them into individual sub-tags makes it *much* easier
& accurate to filter if required rendering or data analysis.<br>

I think it's hopeless for us to coin good definition.<br>

+1 - this one is clear for me.<br>

<br>
I'd think natural=wood is adequate (all the main renderers are
displaying it), but if there's a belief another tag is better, then
I'd be happy to go with that as the /real/ problem is OSM is
currently using two different tags (both key & value!) to
represent the same entity,<br>
<br>
Are any renderers currently rendering 'landcover'?<br>
