As highway=footway etc. tags are set to "should not be used on areas" on
Wiki, and mapping them in combination with area=yes is not documented at
all and considered as wrong tagging by part of users, there is a key
"area:highway=*" (133k uses at the moment). Part of users still map
footway areas as a combination anyway, propably because it's rendered by
default style. Due to our rules, that we shouldn't have 2 active tagging
schemes for the same feature, so we should discuss this topic.
I vote for area:highway=* key, because it's simpler, and it gives a
possibility to show also street areas with crossings in the future.
