have you verified that it will detect areas entirely within other areas?

-------------------

In addition to raised issues, following seems really dubious:

1900: Open Land (Urban)
landuse=meadow 

2120: Unimproved Pastures
natural=scrub

2190: Wildlife Strip Crops
landuse=farmland

2610: Fallow Cropland
landuse=farmland

4430: Forest Regeneration Areas
landuse=forest;leaf_type=needleleaved
why needleleaved is assumed?

5200: Streams & Waterways
natural=water;water=river

7410: Rural land in transition without positive indicators of intended activity
natural=scrub

-------------------
Overall: please, review plans and feedback and submit an updated version

> Hello,
>  I am currently planning an landuse import covering (nearly) the complete US State of Florida. The data is published by the Florida Department of Enviromental Protection (=Public Domain) at > https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/FDEP::current-landuse-landscape-support-index-lsi/about
>
> The data quality is extremely good. I think it is save to say that it is far better than at least half of all existing landuse data in the US. A distinction is made between normal farmland and fallow (unused) farmland. Cutlines in forests for power-/pipelines are precisely cut out, and so on. Which tags in the original dataset have been changed to which OSM tags is listed on the wiki page:> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Hiausirg/Florida_Landuse_Import#Tagging_Plans
>
> The best way is to get convinced of the quality of the data for yourself:> https://www.mediafire.com/file/53cbubxbkikcwi2/FLLanduse_NWF_Part3.osm/file>  and > https://www.mediafire.com/file/8476ovczmljikvu/FLLanduse_NWF_Part7.osm/file>  are two examples. Simply drag & drop into JOSM.
>  5 days ago I already posted about this project in the #local-florida Slack channel. I also wrote directly to several people who map a lot in Florida. There was almost only positive feedback about the data quality. The only problem is that there are relatively often overlaps of roads and land covers like natural=wood or similar. However, it only happens with minor roads, and I don't think it's a big problem per se.
>
> Conflation will be done largely manually with the JOSM validator. Exact steps are described on the wikipage linked above. Since the state is in most locations completely empty (regarding landuses), this shouldn't take too long. Areas with already good coverage (Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee & Gainesville) won't be touched.
