That's not actually clear, though with consensus, it could become accepted as the best approach. It's certainly clear that it's valid to position a node at the location of a church building and tag it amenity=place_of_worship, because a church is such a place. Likewise (and this is what I did in this instance), you could map the outline of the church and tag the outline in the same way. It's still referring to the church, only in greater detail. I don't see that the perimeter of the entire church complex is a place of worship. To return to Old Trafford for a minute, it is a stadium in the centre of which there is a pitch. You wouldn't tag the entire complex as a pitch any more than you should tag a whole church grounds as a place of worship.
