Thank you!

> MA unique non-rendering

I see no issue with "non-rendering" because anyone could create a render
that did render. And it would be interesting. (Doesn't belong on a basic
road nav map of course, but might be interesting on a hiking or bike map as
well as for research purposes.)

(And if the conservation land has (or should have) conservation status
signage, it fits OSM "map the sign" rule even if it was a cadastral data
import in origin.)

"MA unique" should be a concern. Massachusetts legal status is interesting
locally, but perhaps should morph to include 'MA_' in tag name and/or value
to indicate it is a locally specific definition, and additionally use the
worldwide OSM equivalent value for 'landuse=' so that a regional or
national query doesn't show 0 acres in Mass?
