So I suppose it's only about support of the latter. |
there is a preset for Other types of highways are very rarely used on areas, as far as I can see, and the wiki also doesn't allow it for many of them (e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Ahighway%3Dresidential). So this would only be affecting |

It may not be exactly canon, but I subscribe to the perspective that OSM effectively encodes a vectorized (as opposed to voxel/pixelized) volume/surface description, to the effect that both lines and areas are nothing but some arbitrary building blocks for that description. When a surface area is too complex to be described by a line (pretty much everything which is not "road shaped", i.e. translational symmetry along a line), an area has to be used. So, bluntly put, I think everything which exists as a |
This is blatantly wrong. Mapping for example area of motorway carriageway is done with Mapping area of tree row is done with Mapping area of

I think these are separate tags, though I agree I wasn't precise enough when I said "surface description".
You are correct w.r.t. the forest, but I already said that my view is not strictly canon (and tagging schemes are a matter of frequent dispute anyway). I think the description I gave is simple, consistent, and compatible with the existing |
That is completely wrong and is your personal tagging idea. Mapping for example area of motorway carriageway is done with

No, what you quoted is actually established practice (and described in the wiki). What you say about a motorway is correct but is in no contradiction to what I said. The fact that you will rarely to never find the specific combination |

not on toll plazas ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%9Ajharty%C3%A1n_l%C3%A9gifot%C3%B3.jpg ), motorway air strip sections and numerous other places (I will unsubscribe as it is getting quite offtopic here, sorry) |
Yes, that's correct. That's what I claimed should be supported. And if you agree that there are features where usage is not a network of linear paths (which, by the way, I suppose might still the case for many toll stations, though), then indeed, that would be a case where Perhaps it would help if you could clearly formulate the objection that you have in the sense of "if that is done like X, then Y breaks", or something of the sorts. I'm afraid I have not exactly understood why you started this discussion. |
@ManDay I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this issue is not a good place to discuss potential changes to the way the OSM tagging system. Please consider moving the discussion to a place like the tagging mailing list for example. Back on topic: I found that there are two more

this seems clearly wrong, I edited wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Ahighway%3Dunclassified&type=revision&diff=2326550&oldid=2310410

It was not my idea to start this discussion. I just tried to respond to @matkoniecz when they started criticizing my perspective. I think the issue which I filed about The only thing I tried to convey with my remark was that I'd think it useful if iD would not only "support" that in the scheme, but more generally |
Ok.
I think there might have been a slight misunderstanding, because the issue title did originally mention all For iD we will continue to support the documented/approved usage of tags. |
Thank you for fixing this. With iD complaining about highway=service + area=yes, people went around "fixing" such occurrences, in most cases breaking things - that is, instances where an area was mapped, not outline of a linear way. |
Carto renders
area=yes; highway=service
, but iD suggestsarea:highway=service
