I see grass as grass. If it's maintained by humans, that should be 
described in sub-tags, not in different key tags. Something like:
landuse=grass
municipal_maintained=yes

The same problem occurs with woods, where natural/landuse is used to 
differentiate whether it's human managed. (In fact it's often further 
misused to describe density of the trees). Again all 'adjective' 
descriptions should be recorded in sub=tags.
