it's pretty uk-centric i agree; along with a lot of the tags in osm
actually, i think the whole landuse category is a lazy bodge; every
tag there can easily be replaced with something far more descriptive,
consistent and useful

yes, it is a strange choice. it leads to irrationalities like
highway=footway and highway=cycleway
why we're not using right_of_way=motorway|primary|cycleway|footway|
and so on, i don't know
