Hi
Overpass query in Greater London:
nwr["highway"~"footway|cycleway|path|pedestrian"][area=yes] = 1949
nwr["area:highway"~"footway|cycleway|path|pedestrian"] = 40
If I see a highway=footway + area=yes, I always convert it to
highway=pedestrian + area=yes, which is documented in the wiki & renders
on the 'standard' map.
I would be happy to see highway=footway + area=yes not render. It would
speed up the conversion rate.
Having the most instances isn't a reason not to change the tagging
scheme, but there has to be a justifiable reason; an improvement in
usability. Concatenating keys doesn't do that.
Cheers

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.
