One tag which requires sorting in the UK is leisure=common

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dcommon

As you probably know, OSM-Carto stopped rendering it. The reasons are 
given under ''Problems with this tag' section. I believe they are valid. 
Many appear to be misused just to get an area to render green without 
any knowledge of legal status (I'm guilty of that)

Unfortunately the actual landuse of them varies so an automated UK wide 
correction can't be performed.

Using additional tags, such as landuse=grass to get them to display is 
'tagging incorrectly for the renderer' as it's designed to be a stand 
alone tag.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dgrass

There are currently 3386 leisure=common
732 with additional landuse tags (650 grass, plus meadow & village_green 
etc)

After a quick look, it appears many of the urban cases could be mapped 
solely as landuse=grass

If legal provenance is known then designation=common would seem appropriate.
