Can you explain what exactly is the problem or issue you are concerned
about?  In the example you gave, it looked like two clearly marked
runways. I don't see any problems with them.

The "aeroway=aerodrome" tag can be used on either a node or an area.  Most
of the time it is a node placed near the center of the airport.  When it
is used on an area, it marks the grounds or boundary of the airport.

For example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/5024354

I don't think it is a good idea to put the iata or icao codes on the
runway, because they really apply to the whole place.  They should go on
the aeroway=aerodrome item (node or area) like the wiki says.
