Best solution for what?

This started because a group wanted to map clearings from imagery.
Why I don't know - they have not communicated despite attempts at contact.
They did not use a fixme etc by used something they thought described 
what they were seeing in imagery.
A fixme tries to contact locals to map the thing, as this group wants 
things done in a hurry they don't use fixmes.

So landuse=sand
landuse=dirt
landuse=rock
landuse=scrub
landuse=valley
landuse=peak
landuse=cliff
landuse=tunnel

will all be fine to use?
I don't think so.
