Example: I'm considering using the tag "area=yes" to check if a
barrier should be rendered as an area. Right now "barrier=hedge" is
rendered as an area in the Openstreetmap-carto if it is imported as a
polygon. This happens for all closed ways that are tagged "area=yes",
but it also happens if the closed way is tagged with both
"barrier=hedge" and "landuse" or "natural" or "amenity", because these
keys are normally imported as areas.
It's not ideal to map 2 different features using the same way, but it
happens commonly.
Mapping two features with the same way seem highly efficient.
That OSM-Carto's software is unable to deal with it, is a long-standing
weakness & should be rewritten to solve it. However, regrettably those
involved in the project seem to like using the software's shortcomings
as an excuse not to sort out problems, so I don't see that happening any
time soon.
