[OSM-talk] Woods vs Forests

[Tomas Straupis]

Currently according to taginfo the most popular are:
natural=wood 4,5M
landuse=forest 3,5M
others are way behind. for example landcover=trees - 11000 objects...

So maybe there is a point to choose one of the two popular tags and be
done with it?

If anybody wants more detail - subtags could be used: wood=xxx or
forest=xxx depending on which one is chosen? Editors would remove
other tags from presets, changes will be done in the database and then
rendering and data extraction could be simplified.

Because none of the discussed options is wrong, it leads nowhere (and
it has led nowhere for the last 10 years).
