It is ok to use tags that were never voted on
and ones that lost votes.

This is a misuse of the Standard Map Style.
It is not defining correct use.
(I am author of current road rendering
in this map style, or to be more specific
- person who did last major redesign)

This is not an intended use of
highway=track + area=yes,
its valid use is for squares/areas
on highway=track, where vehicles drive in any directions
It is typical in logging camps,
where wood is stored, moved between vehicles,
processed etc.
In case of wide and frequent misuse
rendering of highway=track + area=yes
will be removed to discourage it.
It happened before with highway=proposed
and area rendering for tourism=attraction

This is a mapping for renderer andÂ
it is incorrect.
Developer of the Standard Map Style
sending this message is not approving
this kind of tagging.
Please use area:highway for road areas
and landuse=highway for area used for
road infrastructure if you want to map this kind of thing.
