a cave entrance isn't a landform. The issues with "vegetation related"
would persist. Wikipedia says about landforms: "A *landform* is a
geomorphological <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphology> unit, and is
largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape. As part
of the terrain <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain>, a landform is an
element of topography <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography>. Landform
elements also include land <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land> such as hills
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill>, mountains
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain>, plateaus
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau>, canyons
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canyon>, valleys
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley>, seascape
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seascape> and oceanic waterbody
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbody> interface features such as bays
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay>, peninsulas
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsula>, seas
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea> and so forth".

If we did what you propose it would still be arbitrarily divided as there
would be landforms in "vegetation related" and landforms in "water
related".

cheers,
Martin
