yes, that's exactly what I would like to see.

I'll have a look :)
What would you prefer for "unsure from imagery"? Just nothing, or a polygon
tagged fixme? Or something else?

Yes, that is a problem. So maybe an approach like landuse=farmland + a tag
specifying use (cropland vs grazing land) would be better.
But I was only talking about the Belgian (or even Flemish) use, where
farmland means cropland 99% of the time. Unless we do that mechanical edit
the Dutch want to do.
