I have a long thread over at The -carto page trying to describe unexpected
behavior of the rendering of railway=station on an area when also accompanied
with area=yes.
I expect that to tell the -carto renderer that I am saying this is the "area"
of the station and building=train_station to be the building.

I am used to mapping all building complexes in a certain way (which is
standardized for some complex types and not others).
- Outline the defined area of the location with Landuse=* , or a similar tag
(like an airport or school). This includes the area for amenities that belong
to the location (parking lots, lawns, roads, whatever is inside its fence)
- Define buildings using the building=* tag
- Add amenities as areas, ways, and points on the Landuse.
So I expect there to be a similar system to map stations, as the amenities
directly operated by the station (bus circles, pedestrian promenades, parking,
separated station buildings and platforms, servicing facilities) to be part of
the "station". Defining that area is very useful, especially when their shape
is visually useful and access via other routes is restricted.
So as other tags have different behavior on a pin vs a building vs a
non-building, I expected the renderings of railway=station to be different when
the area=yes tag is present . Am I incorrect in expecting this behavior?
