TL;DR: make parking_position=key to go with aeroway=parking_position. 

Short discussion from -carto about rendering and suggestion for subkey.

While mapping Narita airport, i found a lot of ramp parking spots and cargo 
plane parking spots labeled as gates. After some misunderstanding of the usage 
of aeroway=gate key - I realized that it is important to have the gate tag be 
prominent, but also that large sections of mapped airports would have no labels 
whatsoever at their associated cargo centers. 

So to allow the rendering of some of these "gateless" spots, like cargo 
positions or spots at very small airports can be differentiated and therefore 
rendered similar to gates, but without causing confusion or double labeling 
that would happen if all aeroway=parking_position tags were rendered. 

It can also be used to differentiate associated means of access (skyway) so the 
can be blacklisted for rendering if need be. 

Concerns were also raised about the necessity for rendering - if the renderings 
do not conflict with skyway or other passenger gates, the impact/ confusion 
should be minimal. 

Any thoughts?
