Why not just use k=landuse v=industrial ?

Works for me for both ports and airports, since both are industries - 
one involving transport by air, and one involving transport by sea.
Example :

Otherwise I foresee we will end up with a multitude of values for the 
landuse tag, that the rendererengines  need stylesheets for.

Including 
landuse=ToiletAndBathAreaAtRoskildeFestival_Bring_NoseClamp_On_Day_Two_and_Later. 
I'm suggesting a shitty-brownish-yellow color for that one, right away.

Is it really necessary to go that finegrained down, in the definition of 
the landuse tag ?

My point is that sometimes "Less Is More". (Don't say that to your 
significant other, when she's putting on Make-up. It ranks up there with 
"Yes, you do look fat in those trousers" on the Major Mistake Comments 
List. Been there, Done that, Still have the smashed porcelain... )

Do we want a psychedelic multicolored map, or do we want something that 
people can stand to look at for prolonged durations ? If the former is 
the general consensus, we should already now think about putting a 
disclaimer directed at the possible viewers suffering from visually 
induced epileptic seizures, at the bottom of the mappage...

Just my 0.02€'s worth.
