Because the classifications obviously represent different things to
all of us. The exhibits and competitions I've seen over the past
several years have included a wide variety of landscape definitions.
I've seen straight ahead nature shots, architecture shots,
cityscapes, and seascapes all displayed as landscapes. Consider that
my own http://www.beancotton.com/cgi-bin/show_picture.cgi?pic=3 took
top honors in the landscape category at the Delta Fair 3 years ago,
despite the fact that it shows no land at all!

I agree with you that we should keep things simple. However, in my
opinion, thats best done by using a broad, flexible definition rather
than excluding widely used and accepted variations.
