I like it too, but I propose another landuse value: vegetation.  
Vegetation is a general term used for plants, without reference to  
species etc, which could be further specified:

For example

landcover=vegetation
vegetation=pine

or

landcover=vegetation
vegetation=grass
vegetation=bushes
vegetation=...


This would enable a more detailed description of a forest, for example.
