    highway: "Road Right of Way"

I'd like to make a plead again here for using OSM English for the default 'en' terms. If Americanisms are required, they should go into 'en-US'. As a fairly fluent non-native speaker I wouldn't have the faintest idea what  a "Road Right Of Way" might be. As a fairly fluent OSMer, I wouldn't even start to guess that this might relate to a `landuse`. Something to do with access tags seems more likely. 

The equivalent `landuse=railway` seems to go with just 'Railway'. So for consistency, `landuse=highway` should be just 'Highway'? It's the same concept. A cleared but more verbose version would be 'Land used by Roads/Railways'.
