Landuse=orchard does not have this 'problem'? And landuse=vineyard would 
be very confusing!!!!
And the recent discussion on swimming pools and their change rooms etc 
has a suggestion that all the things can exist under one tag.
If people want to tag those .. well they will be buildings for the saw 
mill and drying shed .. so they can be separately tagged if desired.
If really needed then landuse=forestry_yard could be used?

Those proposals/ideas have been in existence for years.

Simple definitions of;
Land USE is what humans use the land for.
Land COVER is what you see covering the surface of the globe.
I think that is fairly clear?

The problems arise from the values of these keys and the way in which 
people use them.

I am trying to get a good value that reduces the confusion and mixed use 
of landuse=forest tag to something better?

Rudolf suggests that landuse=forest be transferred to landcover - thus 
again demonstrating a problem with landuse=forest!

The common understanding of the word 'forest' is .. an area of trees. 
This is not an active 'use'.
The common understanding of the word 'forestry' is .. an activity that 
uses trees to make products. This is a 'use'.

----------------------
Landcover ... is a separate topic that would take much discussion ... 
you can see it from my initial addition to Rudolf page -
