The local convention as to what it is may help them decide.

An alternative is natural=plateau + plateau=butte|mesa or something like

The problem with that is that plateau, butte and mesa refer to (depending
upon which Wikipedia
article you look at) either different absolute sizes or different
height/area ratios.  And while
plateau=butte and plateau=mesa may not offend too many sensibilities,
plateau=plateau looks
rather silly.  And you can't use plateau=yes because that might be used for
"it's flat but I can't
tell if it's a butte or a mesa."
