But if you never use them you are never going to understand the
problems with them. Real life mapping is so different from how you
imagine them to be.

True, But I think  landuse=brownfield should be banned, and all 300
ways tagged as such should be renamed to landuse=development &
demolition.

It's very badly name if you aren't a native English speaker,
especially since it's included in the Potlatch auto complete feature.
Then again highway is also a strange tag name.
