highway=rest_area has been pretty crappily defined. A highway* that can be
tagged on either a node or an area?!?)
There are plenty of other tags that can be applied to either nodes or
areas, and there are other highway=* that can only be applies to nodes
(e.g. traffic_lights).
I do agree that highway=rest_area is not optimally defined, but it is
usually a bad idea to invent tags without discussing them with the
community; If no one knows about the tag and what it means, it just
fills up space in the database without being of any use.
Some time ago I staŕted tagging a single node highway=rest_area at every rest
area
Good idea. I think we should just do that, and remove service=rest_area.
If anyone really cares about service=rest_area (or the accusedly crappy
definition of highway=rest_area), they should discuss it on the tagging
list.
