  Not when they've all just been chopped down :-)

  land_use=forestry
  land_cover = mud_treestumps_and_woodchips

  But seriously, there's a difference between an area being used for
  forestry and an area covered in trees, and in the Venn diagram there's
  no empty sets. Which makes them orthoginal.

Fair enough; i see your point and the nerd in me wanted full
orthogonality anyway.

IMHO we need more venn diagram thinking in OSM.
