Hum ! Interesting.

I imagine we could map a large area with a landuse=residential, and 
inside, in micromapping, polygons with residential=garden.
It would avoid having several polygons ovelapping with landuse tags, or 
a multipolygon with thousand inner members producing errors in postGIS 
when several inners are juxtaposed.

So we can easily combine different mapping level.

Mapnik would give different renderings, with transparency.

A way that seems good to explore...
