Are you sure that Electrical Power Transmission Lines never have scrub
growing beneath them?

(I may be wrong, I am commenting from
the other side of planet from place with a different climate)

In general for such cases I would recommend not importing without review
of such areas

> 2610: Fallow Croplandlanduse=farmlandWhy not? These areas look like something between "Unimproved Pastures" and normal farmland. IMO it's fine to tag these as landuse=farmland, since they don't look too different.

I expected scrub at least on some of them (but see disclaimer)

> 5200: Streams & Waterwaysnatural=water;water=riverAn seperate "Streams & Waterways" area is only used if the waterway has a certain size, so this does not incude small streams, only water areas on which water=river is applicable.

It would be worth noting on wiki as it is quite surprising transformation.

+1 to avoid multipolygons whenever possible (islands of various type, disjoint
areas representing single feature).

Multipolygons used for landuse reusing ways are horrible to edit.

"several" may be not enough. Such datasets are often differing across different places,
with actual classification and quality uneven.

Note that you may unify multiple areas to the same tagging.

Seems really dubious to me. That is confusing for future mappers rather than helpful
(but ask local people and mention it on wiki, do not put too much weight on my
comment)

If you ask on talk-us mailing list and on Slack you will get self-selected audience

about OSM.

Some new:

Oil, Water or Gas Long Distance Transmission Lines  natural=grassland
I would expect also farmland

Timber Processing  landuse=industrial industrial=sawmill
always sawmills? Excluding storage/seasoning sites?

Cemeteries  Not Imported, often just very small graveyards
very small ones also can be mapped (though if data is not good enough
to import - it obviously should be skipped)

The same goes for 5% of not mapped substations (you are not obligated to
import it! But maybe someone will be interested).
