>boundary=field?

Wouldn't it be the hedges, walls...etc that are tagged?

I've added hedges and other field borders where I mapped, and have done so 
for a long time  I use border=hedge.  Its proposed, and I've tried to 
discuss it.  Border is a more open catagorie i felt, and other features can 
be added under that catagorie that wouldnt fit under boundary.  Its been 
proposed for quite some time.   There is a handful of discussions on the 
wiki that are progressing at snail pace.  I'm custom tagging regardless 
anyway.

If there is a disire to really sort out the array of faults that tagging 
rural areas offers then it would be good to really sort it out on a wiki 
page.  The UK countryside user group 
 >http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_User_Groups#OSM_UK_Countryside_User_Group 
< seems kinda unactive, (is it even exsitent?)  but I would really like to 
use it to make all the tags more open for tagging things in the countryside, 
and move away from the citycentric limitations wich are currently standing 
in the way, by gathering a handful of valid opions in order to resolve them.

I thourght the yahoo images didnt cover the coutnryside anyway?.  Theres 
none round me for shore, or anywhere I seem to go.
