HMm. For some reason having highway=track + area=yes doesn't sound right to me.
I'll comment on the road tagging separately with a bit better time but to me there are two problems: - area=yes doesn't make the _area_ routable. All of your routes through this area (with the current routing engines, that is) would go via the boundary. .. This is not a problem for small areas. .. And the problem can be avoided by drawing ways through the area. .. But that's what you're trying to avoid here, right? - for some reason I find "track" a slightly difficult area road type tag. .. Track implies (to me) more or less rough surface and possibly 4wd_only. While I have no idea how the surface is in the linked area it just doesn't seem to fit well. Did the idea of adding highway=track + area=yes to the landcover=bare_earth come from merely the attempt to avoid drawing tracks through the area?
