It obviously failed at that completely. The most used tags
(landuse=residential, industrial, farm, commercial, military, retail...) don't
give any detail about ground cover. It has become so bad that I don't see a
way to even try to fix this with the landuse tag. It has to go back to the
drawing board without thinking about tags that are in use today.
