  Landuse=forest is a real forest. These polygons are used to say
calculate total percentage of forests in a region and they and only
they are used for small scale maps. And natural=wood is NOT used in
forest percentage calculation, they are skipped from small scale maps
together with other micromapping stuff like sidewalks alongside the
reoads, treerows etc. Rule #5 was introduced for the specific purpose
to help filtering out "residential forests" from the map and
calculations.
