Just to clarify, I meant for the barrier=curb to represent a perimeter, not an area. The area would be tagged as grass or shrubs or pavement or rocks or whatever - in this case I couldn't find an appropriate tag for the area (if I had I guess I would have used another multipolygon since you can't tag the same way as a perimeter and an area), so I just used a natural=tree node in the center (which probably is overkill - I imagined it being used by the blind in navigating the parking lot but that's probably completely unrealistic).
I didn't want to use landuse=grass, because that doesn't describe the *use* of the land. Although I suppose I compromised with natural=tree - the trees are by no means a "natural" occurrence.
