4) Where the only tags are barrier=hedge + area=yes then render
as before, a hedge that has area.  This would exclude the cases like
leisure=park + barrier=hedge which is a non-preferred way of
mapping a park with a hedge around it.  Maybe that's what you
meant in your point 3, but it didn't read that way to me.

5) Introduce, and render, landcover=hedge so we can tag an object
as landcover=hedge + barrier=hedge.  It would be sub-optimal
to use landcover=scrub or landcover=heath because the bushes
in those are not so close together as to form a barrier.  You might
be able to squeeze through a gap in a hedge and then walk through
scrubland or heathland, but you're not going to be able to do that here:
https://goo.gl/maps/52wy5CAAVgXeMfXZ6  Not only are there no
spaces between the bushes, they have thorns.
