I believe some of them should be evaluated for documentation, and other
discouraged-

evaluation:
=========
natural=hummock
historic=hollow_way
barrier=avalanche_protection
place=block


discouraged:
==========
wall=brick  -> brick is not a wall type, there is already material=brick
with 20k usage which is suitable

natural=tree_group  -> use the group relation instead, which can deal with
all kinds of groups and does not require a new tag

landuse=static_caravan  -> seems a kind of residential landuse (subtype),
30% unsure about it

place=subdistrict -> is either an administrative class
(boundary=administrative) or covered by existing place tags

Cheers
Martin
