I have landuse=forest, and in Potlatch it shows up with green shading as it should, but I noticed that when I click on the forest outline in Simple mode I don't get the "area" type of tags.  Is there something I'm missing here?  I can't find any disconnected nodes.  See the lower left hand corner of it here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=31.4182&lon=-92.3591&zoom=14&layers=M

Hi Kenneth

It might be because you've tag it both as landuse & leisure. I think 
these are considered to be of equal importance & conflict with each 
other. A renderer should be able to clarify that.

Also you duplicate the tags inside the relation & on the way. I believe 
the recommended correct way to do it is inside the relation:

"Tags describing the multipolygon (e.g., landuse=forest) /should go on 
the relation/."

Cheers
