[Tagging] Landcover... not again?....!

[Peter Elderson]

I'm not suggesting any deprecation. Just an idea to add a natural,
intuïtive and easy way to tag existing land use with different land cover.
Say, grass on a railway area. I'm running into this kind of issue every
time I do some tagging in my neighbourhood.

Without adding new keys, using elements already present. no deprecations or
retaggings, just a refinement,  and not requiring any intricate handling.

I see even this revives several trench wars. Sorry I asked!
