There are many tags with status 'de facto' indicated that do not meet at 
least some of your criteria:

landuse=meadow
landuse=forest
natural=wood
place=square
waterway=drain

and there are tags with status 'in use' indicated that at least meet 
some of the criteria:

highway=turning_circle
information=guidepost
landuse=grass
man_made=cutline
place=archipelago
water=lake
waterway=riverbank

IMO if those criteria are significant (which i don't doubt as far as 
they can be objectively determined) it is much more useful to document 
how far a tag meets these criteria individually than to determine an 
aggregate score of some sort from them and a categorization based on 
that.
