broad_leaved vs broad_leafed vs broad-leaved

1
  • The wiki page of natural=tree says that it may be used in combination with type=broad_leaved.
  • The example section, of the same page, uses type=broad_leafed instead.
  • There is also a wiki page of wood=broad-leaved.
  • KeepRight reports 'This node is tagged 'type=broad_leaved' where "broad_leaved" looks like "broad_leafed"'

What is the preferred way to tag a broad-leaved tree?

In case of confusion in the documentation look at the usage in the database at taginfo. It currently reports most uses of type=broad_leafed. However I see a discussion on the wiki about a previous typo that concludes that it should be type=broad_leaved. I assume that that is the correct way to tag it.
