[OSM-newbies] How to use landuse?

[Gerco-Kees Bloemsma]

I draw a boundary around the city and tag it as:
landuse=residential and layer=-1
Inside that boundary-line i can draw areas with landuse=park, retail,
graveyard and so on. This inner areas do not have to have the layer-tag,
because the default would be layer zero, wich is ontop of  the -1 layer....
