I don't think there's much difference in nature, it's more a
difference in the way of tagging - it's comparable to the difference
between tagging a POI and using exactly the same tag on an area: Both
can be used to tag the same situation. Still, the larger something is,
the more chance the mapper will use the area possibility. The same for
cycleway=track vs. highway=cycleway: The more tenuous the connection
between cycleway and road, the more chance that the cycleway will get
a separate way. I have stated where I put the boundary, but I think
it's unavoidable that different mappers will put the boundary
different, I even know there are some who never use cycleway=track,
but always render separately.
