[Talk-us] proposed automated edit: forested wetlands

The landuse import for Georgia (which IMO is poor-quality and should be 
deleted, but that's not going to happen) has a bunch of areas tagged as 
note = Forested Wetland with no useful natural=* tags (since 
natural=wood and natural=wetland both apply). Example: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/31457349

I propose to fix these.

But what would be the best tags to use? Would natural=wetland 
wetland=swamp ("An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation.") 
be correct? Or is it better to choose natural=* tag and add a 
multipolygon for the other?
