what does not mean you can't use features that appear only in some parts of
the world. I never used village_green, because: if it's not a village green,
don't use this tag...

just invent your own tags for your own needs, and use them. What's the
problem with this one, if you don't have the feature in your area?

-1, or better: +1: tag worldwide all village_greens according to English law
with village_green.
