yes, and if different approaches for the same thing arise, we just
a) use both
b) define different meaning for one or both of them

(see landuse=forest, natural=forest, landuse=wood, natural=wood).

Actually it is not a must to document, but I wouldn't discourage
people who want to do it: it helps not creating ambiguities which are
hard to get rid off, as the OSM-history has proven.
