This sounds like a great idea for a check. I would propose ignoring anything tagged as a wetland, unless there is good evidence not to.

Since you can't have both natural=wetland
and natural=wood
on the same object then it's either one or the other, and agreed wetlands are often mapped over the water area.
If you have natural=wood
+ wetland=*
then I'd say that's a tagging error as if there is a wetland it should be natural=wetland
otherwise if not a wetland then just natural=wood
.
Description I can't think of why natural=wood should intersect natural=water areas. Trees in the water are usually wetland=mangrove.

Further investigation Many smaller water bodies within large wood areas, mappers probably don't bother to cut these out as multipolygon inners. They might argue this mapping is okay, but still natural=wood should only be where there are trees and they aren't usually in a lake.
