[Tagging] landcover=trees definition

[Dave F.]

If the grass is municipally maintained the I use landuse=grass (I'm on 
the fence about using landcover). If I have the time or inclination I'll 
separate it from residential with a multipolygon relation.

If it private then I mark it as landuse=residential & probably leave it 
at that. If you ant to go into more detail you could use the 
garden/private tags.
