I partly agree. plant_nursery could indeed become a subtag of farmland, as
could be greenhouse horticulture, but I do agree less for mining and
salt_pond. landuse=mine is in line with landuse=quarry (for open pit mining
it might be a subgroup of quarry?). salt_ponds could also be considered a
subtype of farmland (maybe depends on the case/scale).

cheers,
Martin
