[OSM-talk] Map features page information

[Andy Robinson]

Thanks Mike, I've changed your forest and wood comments a little to reflect
the fact that these would be Managed. Wood being principally deciduous and
forest being principally coniferous. Have also added a "woodland" value to
the "natural" section to cover naturally occurring woodland.

Made one or two other obvious additions.

One specific change to the existing Map_Features list:
railway=preserved_rail has been changed to railway=preserved, since the rail
bit at the end is redundant.

I added a few other comments elsewhere too.

Cheers

Andy
