Right idea, but from my perspective landuse=* shouldn't be used to
describe an individual feature (like an orphanage), but to describe
the use of an area of land. If you want to do tiered tags like this
you'd use something more like amenity=residential_home +
residential_home=orphanage.

I.e. an orphanage is a type of residential_home is a type of amenity.
NOT a childrens_home is a type of residential is a type of landuse.
