while I understand you and generally would agree this is not
OSM-reality. landuse-OSM is not landuse as you would guess by the
actual meaning. As long as surface or landcover are not rendered this
won't change, despite all "don't map for the renderers" appeals.

this is in many case overengineered. I'm not against the use of
relations but for many landuses and buildings with only 2 nodes in
common a relation complicates the situation without any benefit. Even
the db gets more load when using the relation I suppose. For a normal
block in the city you would need 20-40 relations just because all
buildings are in touch.
