We have put the CLC:code tag in all polygons imported, so it is easy to 
find them back.
But no sub tag.
For the polygons are often been modifyed from import, we can't put a bot 
to ass a subtag.
And the polygons would be adjusted to fit the current discussion.
But Osmose would help to find polygons with a landuse=residential + 
CLC:code=111

Interesting proposal. I will talk about it on the French ML to see how 
we can improve the import.
Maybe by the time the "centre_type" list will be enriched.
