[OSM-talk] keep right! and landuse=wood

[David Earl]

"deprecated" is just someone's opinion, as is the suggested alternative. 
Though by not following the crowd it may be a feature is created that is 
useful on the map.

natural=wood is the widely used tag for a wood (over 65,000 of them and 
currently rendered widely. landuse=wood by comparison has never been 
widely used (only 214 occurrences currently). landuse=forest (why not 
natural=forest? just history) suggested for larger areas of woodland or 
actively managed trees.
