It is correct to discuss.
There SHOULD be a landuse tag for every area as far as I am concerned, 
and since landuse=forest is for managed wooded areas, it is incorrect to 
use that for unmanaged areas. So perhaps we just need to CORRECT the 
land use page to include unmanaged woodland in some way?
Having a mixture of 'natural' AND 'landuse' seems to be the basic 
problem .... so none of the proposed fixes is correct! These areas ARE 
landuse=wood
