Who cares? It is just a string. The important thing is that we all do the
same.

If farm nodes should be tagged as residence=farm, let's agree to do that,
but it's not in the list so how is anyone else supposed to know? It's not as
if it is a new thing - it's been like that ever since I've been involved,
and I'm presumably not the only one who has added landuse=farm nodes to the
map in reposnse to following the "spec", in the expectation that one day
they might appear as labels on the map.
