That would mean that Mapnik needs to be checking a secondary field to
determine what to display. If the renderer doesn't do that, you will end up
with a map that is poorer in the end. In your case, that would mean
increasing the size of the table produced by osm2pgsql by one extra column.
Overall, you are increasing complexity with little or no benefits.
I am not sure it makes sense in the end since were are getting exactly the
same of information if you are using the tag directly in landuse.
