[Tagging] natural=bay as nodes are evil

Please, try mapping bays as areas - not as nodes. It is really rare to see it done this way - but it is doable, see http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/5CQ Bay mapped as node is hard to process - for example: deciding whatever name should be rendered. It is completely impossible to retrieve information
