In the beginning it took a while to realize, that the osm tagging
system as-it-was-at-the-start omits some tags when some
other tag "logically normally" implies something not mentioned
anywhere:
leisure=park could imply landuse=leisure
leisure=resort could imply landuse=leisure
leisure=pitch should (often) be inside an implied
landuse=leisure and so on.
Why is it so, then, I hear you ask; the answer is that for
"simple" mapmaking the depicted leisure element is more
important/will be rendered instead of some generic
landuse=leisure tag, which tells us very little about the
physical contents.
Likewise most don't tag the area with amenity=university
with any landuse tag - some do use landuse=civil.
